A volcanic island nation in the northern Atlantic Ocean, about 10% glaciated. Land of geysers and the arctic fox.
In spring 2009, I joined a group to cross the Vatnajökull glacier (the big one, in the south-east), on snow shoes. On day 4, we unfortunately got caught in a snow storm for 72 hours, forcing us to change the route. But snowstorm or not, the landscape was stunning.
Project North Pole records my travels along the arctic circle. The ultimate goal of this project will be the north pole itself, but this can wait. There is lots of land to see in the process of getting there and even global warming cannot beat me in this attempt.
