It you want to see what the Icelanders get up to Karen have a look at these:
http://www.arctictrucks.is/template3.asp?PageID=1092 Completely barking the Icelanders are, we went right up onto the highest glacier in a Toyota Landcruiser modified by these guys-you just wouldn't believe where they drove the thing unless you were there.
We went across country in the Jimny to a place called Langmanenlarger-well anyway it's spelt something like that, to get to this place we drove about 30 miles on tracks and across a volcanic desert, then we had a DEEP-like half way up the doors- river crossing to get into the place. Anyway when we arrive I see this Icelandic bus there so I think 'Ok there's a bus so there must be an easy way out'-wrong! The bus had about 3ft ground clearance and 4WD and the route out was down a river valley-well actually down the river bed, for 14 miles sharing it with the river..............Apparently the first bus of the day comes in with a guy leading it in a 4wd as the track changes day by day with the action of the water. Bloody good fun but a bit scary since the warden at the place didn't reckon we could get through in a little 4wd only in the bigger ones, and we didn't fancy turning round and re-tracing our tracks for about 6 hours-anyway we did make it, but it was hard work as you had to concentrate on where you were going, if you got stuck you could be waiting a long time before someone came by to help you.
