Just read in an Icelandic newspaper that one of the A380s just showed up at Keflavik (KEF, BIKF).

There's been a severe storm up there (all flights were cancelled this morning, now calmed a little).

So they apparently decided to go there to test crosswind landings. Wind speed is now around 40 kts.

Metar for BIKF: BIKF 101400Z 26039G52KT 5000 -SHGS FEW020CB SCT031 BKN046 02/M01 Q0974.
