According to the Icelandic Met Office an ice surge is occurring on Jökulsá á Fjöllum at Grímsstaðir, Northeast Iceland. This is reported to be the largest blockage to happen in Jökulsá á Fjöllum since 2010.
Cold weather conditions and low river discharge have resulted in the formation of river ice and slush in the river. The ice extends about 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) south of the bridge, as well as reaching over 12 kilometres (7.4 miles) northwards.
Should this increases due to snow-melt or rainfall, it could cause flooding.
