Ölfusá River





The Ölfusá River flows in front of our apartment. It provides a wonderful view and soothing sound as it passes by every day. No matter how high or low the water level, it always moves quickly by. The level changes constantly though through out the year depending on precipitation and temperature. I find the ice formations some of the most interesting times. As we look out our windows we are always greeted by a small island that seems to go up and down. There have been a few times we have noticed it almost disappear and begin to wonder if we are going to have to prepare for flooding. The three pictures with ice were taken today but they could have been easily taken in mid January as it appeared much the same until January 26 - the day the island looked like it was going to go under.
