From m.vf.is:

"Today, just 75 years have elapsed since four young men were killed in a marine accident just outside Keflavik harbor. Stefán Jóhannesson, Skafti Guðmundsson, Guðjón Sigurðsson and Julius Hannesson met their fate at Stokkavör in front of many of its inhabitants who stood on the shore and watched the men disappear into the ocean without being able to do anything."
