A four-year-old girl in Iceland has found a message in a bottle that was thrown into the sea off the coast of Greenland 18 years ago, Danish media reported on Monday.
The message was sent off in the summer of 1987 by a group of youngsters being shuttled by boat to a football match in the south of Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory, Ritzau news agency reported, quoting Greenland radio.
A four-year-old Icelandic girl found the bottle and the message inside over the weekend on a beach in the Hafnarfjordur fjord near Reykjavik, about 750 kilometres from where it was thrown into the water.
The girl’s family is reportedly planning to contact the Danish embassy for help finding the people who sent the message. — AFP
