Rescue teams dig more than 120 sheep out of snow

Rescue teams were called out early on Saturday to help a farmer south of Blönduós after he feared that up to 400 sheep had been buried by snow overnight, mbl.is reported.

The situation proved less serious than feared. More than 120 sheep still had to be dug out of the snow, said Jón Þór Víglundsson, an information officer for the rescue organisation Landsbjörg.
