Iceland – From July 25th to August 1st 2010
You feel an undying quest to explore the topographical diversity of Iceland the moment you set foot on its soil.
However, it took us too many years to give priority to an off-road trip. We, Björg, Unnur, Markús, Jörundur, Ulrik and Magne finally made it in 2010. Thanks to Markús, in particular, and Unnur a route was set and booking made as to accommodation in due time.
