THE NEWS FROM ICELAND
Road repair just in time for ovine C-section
Farmers in Skagafjörður were trapped at home after the Héraðsvötn and Húseyjarhvísl rivers overflowed their banks. There was also a sharp increase in water levels at Goðafoss and Aldeyjarfoss in Bárðardalur.
The average flow of the Skjálfandafljót river at Aldeyjarfoss is 50 m³/s, but at its peak this week reached over sixteen times that.
Water flowed over the road further into Bárðardalur on Wednesday night....
Hlini Jón Gíslason, a farmer at Svartárkot at the innermost part of Bárðardalur, could waste no time when it became clear that the ewe Eldsnögg needed a caesarean and had to be driven for about an hour to Akureyri. It was fortunate, then, that the road had already been reopened.
The ewe and her brand-new lamb handled the car ride well, and the young lamb quickly made it to the udder once they were back in the shed.
