The surface of Hálslón, the lake by Kárahnjúkar dam in Iceland’s eastern highlands, is constantly rising, swallowing nests and eggs laid by geese. The area used to be a nesting ground for graylag geese.
According to Morgunbladid, the birds have not yet realized the changes of their summer habitat, which happened when the glacial river Jökulsá á Dal was blocked last fall to create Kárahnjúkar dam and Hálslón lake.
Once the dam is completed it will provide energy for the Aloca-Fjardarál aluminum smelter in the nearby Reydarfjördur.
