I am a member of the SAR team in Isafjörður and have been an active member for 19 years. The last 14 years I have been active in marine rescue as a Captain and Chief Mechanic of the all weather life boats in Ísafjörður.
The lecture is about a rescue operation on Ísafjord in october 2025 when a car ddriven by a young man went off the road and into the ocean. The driver was in the ocean for 30 minutes.I will cover the first response on the scene, coordination of rescuers, the search operation, challenges during the operation and what was decisive in the operation and how incredible coincidences were to our advantage.
