The only downside was that it is a really long drive from Reykjavik - we made one stop to look at a waterfall and have lunch but the rest of the time was on the bus. Once we got to the tour - it was an hour to the tunnel in the special vehicle, hour in the tunnel and then an hour back - the rest of the time was on a the tour bus.”

“Bella esperienza, abbiamo perso tempo con la navetta a salire, ma una volta al campo molto attrezzati. Tuta artica sopra la nostra, casco e giro in motoslitta. Tutto bianco, non si capisce dove inizia il cielo. Eravamo in un gruppo di 10 in fila indiana, quando vedevo la motoslitta davanti a me sparire capivo che c’era una discesa. Ho tirato ai 70km/h poi ho mollato, la motoslitta spinge. Poi ho visto al campo gli equipaggi da due posti con quello dietro annoiato, mentre io ero carico di adrenalina, ed ho capito che ne valsa la pena spendere di più ma guidare entrambi.”
