An Icelandic football match was forced to abandon after 70 minutes when an especially fierce arctic blizzard took hold.
It occurred when Fram of Reykjavík hosted Breidablik in Iceland's League Cup on Thursday night.
Breidablik, who ply their trade in Iceland's top tier, were 1-0 up against the hosts from the league below when Mother Nature struck hard.
At first, the snowfall was just a gentle flurry. But things soon picked up and the snowfall raged into a full on storm.
