To anyone acquantinced with Iceland: What kind of logistical issues does this actually provoke? What measures do you typically (or exceptionally) take to make sure that no location runs unsupplied for too long?

I'm guessing driving the other way around would help and boats. But I'm not an expert.

The ring road around the country is about 1300km, so it's clearly a pretty big hassle, but not a complete disaster, unless the entire area around the main intersection is blocked.

I don't think you have travel the whole ring road. But I believe both roads in and out areclosed.
