Róbert Daníel Jónsson, a resident of Blönduós in North Iceland, published these images on Facebook yesterday, Thursday. The photos depict a mother swan protectively spreading her wings over her eggs to shelter them from the snow and prevailing northerly winds that batter the northern regions these days.

The swan has been sitting on the eggs for around 3 weeks, according to Róbert’s caption. A swan’s incubating period usually lasts up to 35 days.
