Rauðilækur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈrœyːðɪˌlaiːkʏr̥], or Syðri-Rauðalækur [ˈsɪðrɪ-ˌrœyːðaˌlaiːkʏr̥]) is a small village, more a hamlet, just beside the small town of Hella in southern Iceland.[1] Established in 1902, the village is named after the stream of the same name that flows on the east side of the hamlet. In 2011 it had a population of 43.
Geography and climate
The hamlet and the river are located about 90 kilometres (56 mi) southeast of
subpolar oceanic (Koppen: Cfc). Its coastal location, it is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) far from the North Atlantic Ocean, does make it prone to wind, and gales
are common in winter. Summers are cool, with temperatures fluctuating between 10 and 15 °C (50 and 59 °F), sometimes exceeding 20 °C (68 °F).
