however, the estimation may change when further measurements and analyses have been
carried out, especially on the part that is in the lake and regarding the depth of the sliding
surface. If the bottom of the slide reaches below the lake bottom, the total volume of material

The precipitation was above normal. In Reykjavík it exceeded the 1961 to 1990 mean by about 13%. April was the wettest with more than the double normal amount. June and August were the driest. At Akureyri in the north the precipitation was about 30% above the mean. In the east the exceedance was even larger, up to 45% at Dalatangi, but not an absolute
