Rebecca Cathrine Kaadu Ostenfeld was reportedly surprised when a letter was delivered to the horse farm where she lives with her husband and three children near Búðardalur in the west of Iceland.
Instead of a postal address or a recipient's name, the sender had drawn a map of where they believed the farm to be, together with the following, in English:
"Country: Iceland. City: Búðardalur. Name: A horse farm with an Icelandic/Danish couple and three kids and a lot of sheep!"
The sender had also added a further clue to the intended recipient: "the Danish woman works in a supermarket in Búðardalur."
The letter had been written and sent from the Icelandic capital Reykjavík by a tourist who had stayed at the farm but who obviously did not know the address.
And, extraordinarily, it arrived at the right place.
This astonishing delivery took place in March and was then not reported until May, when it came to attention of local Icelandic news website, Skessuhorn which noted "anything is possible in Iceland".
The story has now, belatedly, gone viral on social media after a photo of the envelope was posted on Reddit. The picture has prompted readers to share other miraculous postal stories; such as the tale of the Christmas card sent from Germany, which somehow arrived at the right place despite only being addressed to "England".

By the way: The farm gets good ratings on Google, even though their opening hours are peculiar: Sundays 11:00–11:01, closed at all other times.
