Managing director Jón Svanberg told Rás 2 morning radio that it is vital that the ever-growing number of travelers have good and correct information for their trip in Iceland.
Search and rescue teams are for the eighth year in a row stationed in four places in the highlands during summer.
According to Jón, there is a strong need for being stationed in the area.
