Man becomes airborne in the storm
A photograph of a man from Greenland on a visit to Iceland has gone viral in Iceland today. The photograph, taken by Þorgeir Baldursson, captures the man, Mogens Olsen, as he literally becomes airborne in an extreme gust of wind in today's storm.
Baldursson met the two Greelanders at Leiruvegur today after they had participated in the Winter Games in Akureyri, north Iceland. A sudden blast of wind swept Olsen right into the no.1 road and fortunately he had a lucky escape as no car was currently on the road and he was not hurt.
