Autumn activities with Icelandic Search and Rescue team :)


As you probably know, I have join Search and Rescue Team in Iceland and I am going through 1,5-2 years beginner training since September. Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue Team (ICE-SAR) is a voluntary organisation and I am in one of the Reykjavik squads, HSSR. I am very happy about it! It was one of my dreams for a long time! Now I am having a lot of fun and learning a lot with wonderful people. My Icelandic level is already good enough to have lectures and take exams in this language. Still I need to learn a lot, but it is going very well! I will give you some more insight soon! :)))))

Hjálparsveit skáta í Reykjavík, or HSSR for short, is Iceland’s oldest land search and rescue team. It was founded by members of the Icelandic Scout Association over 80 years ago and has stayed strong ever since. These founding members had frequently been called upon in the previous years to assist authorities when their alpine and mountain­eer­ing skills were needed in incidents involving lost and/or injured people and they felt they needed to organize in order to maximize the effectiveness of their response, thus founding HSSR in 1932.
