The water levels in Bláfjallakvísl glacial river are unusually high, warns the Icelandic Met Office. The river’s source is on the northern face of Mýrdalsjökull glacier, south Iceland. Hikers are advised to show great caution when attempting to cross the river.

Additionally, a small glacial outburst flood has begun in Gígjukvísl river, located south of Vatnajökull ice cap (southeast Iceland). The flooding is small and is unlikely to cause any damages.
