Svalbarð

On a farm called Svalbarð, near Þórshöfn, there is a study centre on the Leader Sheep of Iceland, called Fræðasetur um forystufé. These leaders are a special breed, unique to Iceland, that can predict weather and lead the flock through storms to safety. An interesting glimpse into the hierarchy of the Icelandic sheep.
