Driving in Iceland (For Nuts Only)

Описание: DRIVING IN ICELAND

When I've arrived to the river these two car were standing on the other side contemplating whether to cross or not. I stopped hoping that they will cross first so I will know how to negotiate the river. But they did not move. After 5 minutes waiting I decided to cross first. Pity i did not have third hand to make a movie. It could be interesting to see while in the middle of the river I felt that I am in canoe and not in the car. Honestly these were really anxious moments. When I arrived on the other side of the river excited and shaky they at last started to cross and then I made my movie. I believe it was good I went first since if I would see them crossing I don't believe I would dare to cross.

Anyway after this ford any other crossing of rivers in Interior was just "Piece of Cake". Since there are virtually no existing bridges in Iceland Interior one have to be ready for this kind of scenario. Sometimes it's more challenging sometimes less. But it is always "fun". And if you are looking for adrenaline rush, at least you know where to go.

The whole movie is about driving in Iceland Interior -- the most beautiful part of the country but far most challenging as well.

All shots are taken in Interior -- some time from inside of the car, sometime from outside. However the most challenging fords are not taking from the car since one have full hands while struggling through the river. For Icelanders it is part of daily routine -- but for us it is nothing else but adrenaline rush.

In last sequence of the movie taking by my Icelandic friend I am crossing river in Jokulgili -- some 20 km drive through the valley which was more or less continues crossing river after river. He had lots of fun -- I am not sure about same for myself.
