In the summer of 2021, I traveled to Iceland with two friends for a 3-month, 3000-kilometer adventure. We explored much of the island, visiting iconic spots along Route 1, venturing into the West and East Fjords, and crossing the highlands from North to South and East to West. After that journey, one thought stayed with me: to return in winter, when Iceland reveals its rawest and wildest beauty.
Two years later, I set out to carve a path through the snow, from Seydisfjordur in the far East to Bjargtangar in the far West, passing north of the island’s three great glaciers (Vatnajökull, Hofsjökull, and Langjökull). A 1000-kilometer journey in full autonomy, right in the heart of winter, battling conditions of -25°C, fierce winds, and river crossings 🚴🏻♂️❄️
