That is some amazing journalism. I learned a ton of things I never knew about Iceland, and a fair bit about what happens when Justin Beiber is filmed in your plane. Dude has to rescue tourists every single day? That's not a very sustainable solution. Hopefully a locked gate and a tourism company selling ATV tours outta help.
- lloyd-christmas 10y agoIt's sheep country. There is a tractor preventing vehicles from accessing it, but on foot it's just 3-wire sheep fences as far as the eye can see. At a 2 hour drive from Reykjavik and a 5 mile round trip walk, it's not exactly a massive trek. I was with a bunch of city-folk and they wanted to do it. The problem is that the terrain is moon-like with grey dust/rocks in every direction and completely flat. I can see how easy it is to get disoriented in the summer, let alone when there is snow on the ground. As an aside, visiting it was the worst part of my trip. I honestly don't recommend it to anyone. 5 minutes down the road is a gorgeous waterfall you can walk up that provided infinitely more pleasure than walking 5 miles round trip through unchanging landscape. Granted, I didn't want to go in the first place, so grain of salt.
