| Russian tapping buoy drifted ashore |
| Thursday, 05 November 2009 15:17 |
 The bomb squad of the national coast guards was called out yesterday to take a look at a buoy which drifted ashore in Skardsfjara close to Kirkjubaejarklaustur. When looked at more closely was clear that this is a Russian tapping buoy but there was also found close to the buoy a Russian sailing buoy with a thermometer and salt gage from a submarine which is used to measure salt and soundspeed in the ocean. It says on the website of the national coast guards that sailors were not in danger from these objects. The age of these buoys are unknown. The bomb squad was also called out earlier this week when a strange object was found in Reykjanes. When investigated was clear that this was an inactive bomb since the second world war.
