Roads closed due to storm
Due to extreme weather The Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration and the Police in South Iceland have decided to close road #1 at 1400 hours today, from the river Markarfljót in the west to the glacial lagoon Breiðamerkurlón (Jökulsárlón á Breiðamerkursandi) in the east.
The storm will reach eastern Iceland late this afternoon. Early this evening (at about 1900 hours) the storm will hit the northern part of the country. A travel advisory for those areas in effect. Roads through mountain passes will close in the evening. The weather forecast calls for a northerly storm tomorrow, Saturday, so there will be very limited service in the northern half of the country, mountain passes may remain closed.
