Snow layers and snow cover
Little snow in general in the forecasting area. Older snow has been through multiple melt-freeze cycles and is considered rather stable. Some precipitation was in southerly winds on Tuesday and Wednesday, snowfall in mountain tops but rain lower down. Slabs may have formed in NW-NE facing slopes. Where fresh snow sits on top of older snow, it might be unstable.
Recent avalanches
No new avalanches have been recorded, however, cornice collapses were observed by Kleifarvatn last week, in the beginning of the seismic swarm in Reykjanes peninsula.
