Reykjavík Summit

Saturday, October 11, 1986Höfði, Reykjavík, Iceland

clear and cold21°F

Rain on a gale in the small hours, driven in off the sea, the air feeling near 30°F and worse in the gusts. By dawn the rain had stopped. The wind had not. It blew all day under a sky that kept tearing open and closing again, bright one hour and dark the next, the air near 24° in the gusts and never much better. Hard going on foot. By 6pm it felt near 20° and the cloud had thickened, and the evening blew on with the gusts easing only a little after dark.
