Jeepsafari on Langjökull

Along with a group of exchange students we all met in complete darkness at 8h30 outside the university campus for our jeep safari to an Icelandic glacier. We mounted our 4 Landrovers and 1 Jeep and left smoky town behind.
Finally the light was enough to observe our powerful engines. Each jeep was equipped with the newest navigation system, GPS, satellite, you name it... Really impressive technique! They had the exact topography of the glacier with the information of dangerous places etc.
At the lake of Þingvellir we saw the faint light of dawn.
At around 10h30 the sun was slowly rising giving sight to a magical winter landscape where no life seems possible. It very hard to imagine how people were able to survive the long winters in the last centuries when no goretex protection was guaranteed.
