Pictures: Didn’t let the cold stop them

The people of Hafnarfjörður and nearby areas didn't let the extreme cold stop them from taking to the sea and swimming in a cabin on the first day of the year. The company Trefjar provided a cabin that was hoisted onto the bank at Langeyrarmalir and invited the sea swimmers to warm up after their swim.

The sea swimming group Happier You (Glaðari þú) participated in the sea swimming and was aptly named because there was so much joy in the water.

Hafnarfjörður and Trefjar worked together on the project.
