Agree, good work by the pilot.
The wind condition could favour a case like this, the groundspeed would be way less when the wing finally settles.
And Keflavik has crossing runways, and is located on flat land, so they often operate in quite strong winds. Problem comes with the air gates, and deboarding passengers when the wind picks up.
