Stabilisation of the Tidal Entrance at Hornafjordur, Iceland

Year: 1999

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Hornafjordur is a tidal entrance on the south-east coast of Iceland, a shore with a heavy littoral drift. An extreme storm hit the coast in January 1990. It caused large shoaling to encroach upon the entrance channel from both sides, and a breakthrough occurred between the rock headland Hvanney and the South Barrier. The inlet was closed for several weeks.
