The monster cyclone will be created as a result of a combination of two large storms.
One cyclone was northeast of Iceland, while another larger one is west of the island, in the north Atlantic.

Overnight on Wednesday, the two will merge into a large and deep cyclone over Iceland and the Greenland Sea.

The huge storm will drift northeast throughout Wednesday and gradually weaken on its way towards the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard.
