What is a flood? A flood happens when water overflows onto land that is normally dry. This can be caused by heavy rain, melting snow or ice, or rivers rising too high. In places like Iceland, melting glaciers can sometimes trigger these events, sending extra water downstream into valleys and coastal areas.
If you are in a flood-prone area, stay away from moving water and follow local news for updates on safe travel routes.
