After the memorial service in Flateyri Church, rescue team members lit 20 torches in memory of the 20 people who lost their lives in the avalanche on October 26, 1995.
It was a deeply emotional moment when a Coast Guard helicopter landed in Flateyri yesterday, October 26, 2025 — exactly thirty years after Coast Guard helicopters first arrived in the town following the avalanche from Skollahvilft, which claimed twenty lives. This time, the helicopter carried passengers who had come to take part in a memorial ceremony honoring the victims of the disaster.
