Reindeer decreased

Reindeer in the area south of Vatnajökull has dropped down. Last year 247 animals were counted in this area, but now have found only 113 reindeer. Because have all been banned hunting of reindeer in the region.

It is not information why the reindeer dropped so much between years, because nothing in the environment of the animals as likely to be negative and the last winter rather mild. Possible reason is hunting thieves on a large scale.

Many Icelandic towns celebrate the summer time and most of the town with one special celebration. On Eyrarbakki are three holidays during the summer time. First, early spring, so is the middle of summer festival. Last festival is in mid-August. Thousands of people visit this old 19th century town every year. Every house and everything has a great story to tell the next generation. Foreign tourists who are interested in Icelandic history and nature visit the town in summer as winter. In winter it is the major surf from the Atlantic, which calls for tourists to watch the great waves breaking along the coast.

View surf and drink coffee

In the old harbor in Eyrarbakki is a little "take-away" coffee hut named Bakkabrim. There you can serve refreshments from organically grown raw materials at a reasonable price; new grind coffee, Homemade soup, sandwiches and baked pastries. View from the harbor is fantastic and strange phenomena of nature all around.

Possible 100 days a powerful volcanic eruption

Explosive activity in "Eyfell" glacier volcanic has increased and effusive part has decreased for the last two days. This results in a higher eruption column with increased tephra fallout the IMO says. There are no signs that the eruption is about to end. No measurable geophysical changes within the Katla volcano.
