The local rescue team in Vík, South Iceland, has been called out to rescue a woman stuck on a cliff at Reynisfjara beach. 
Three rescue team members have managed to scale the cliffs and have reached the woman but it will be a considerable operation getting her down, according to a press release from the Landsbjörg association of rescue teams. 
Reynisfjara beach is the most dangerous beach in Iceland because of the strong and unpredictable currents.
