The year of the Ice Floe
We were Cut Off from the world
Well maybe I exaggerate just a bit. In the winter of 1967-68 the floating ice pack came around the eastern side of Iceland. This ice pack prevented our supply ships from arriving at Hofn and so, once our stocks ran out, we had to live without our vital supplies, like beer, for the month or two it took for the ice to dissipate.

Another picture sent to me by John Simander gives an even better idea of how heavy the ice pack was.
