Some pax complained in the local media of a terribly hard landing and that the aircraft bounched of the rwy before it landed second time.

In KEF sometimes they only sweep 40 meters of the total 60 m width of the rwy, so if you partially loose control of your ac and you are way off the centerline you might find your self in the snow. That is what I think happened there.
