“The first thing I saw when I woke up was a reindeer standing by my window,” Gunnlaugur explained.
Reindeer are a common sight in the town, according to Gunnlaugur, and often graze on the town’s football field and camping ground but are rarely found guilty of entering private property as in this case.
