    Akureyri was hit by an avalanche in October 1995, 8 months after an avalanche hit nearby Sudavik. 20 people were killed at Akureyri, 13 at Sudavik.

    As a result this impressive avalanche protection bund was constructed. Impressive civil engineering for those interested.

      Actually it is called a ‘dam’, apologies.
