- Date: June 30, 1995
- Aircraft: Partenavia P.68
- Location: Mt Geitarhilđ, Southern Peninsula, Iceland
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Controlled flight into terrain after the pilot flew at an altitude too low for the terrain in instrument conditions.
A scheduled Partenavia flight from Reykjavik to Selfoss ran into IMC while flying under VFR. The pilot did not realise he was too low, and the aircraft struck the slope of Mt Geitarhild near Lake Kleifarvatn. It was destroyed by impact and a post-crash fire, killing the sole occupant.
