Iceland, a Land of Ice…

There has been some chatter on the site lately about adventures in Iceland. The images people bring back from that country are beautiful. But even more than a photographers paradise, it’s an adventurers paradise.

I saw in my latest issue of Wend Magazine that they are featuring a story on Iceland. Wend is the magazine that offers $3 off their subscription price to Outdoorzy members. Check out how to get your discount if you haven’t yet.

Here’s an excerpt from the Iceland story…

“We’re getting spit off this hulk of a peak—Hvannadalshnukur, the highest in Iceland. The wind is blasting us at over 80 miles per hour, and tiny ice particles scoured from the glacier higher up pelt our exposed cheeks. Ski touring uphill while shouldering big packs would be demanding enough, but in this tempest it is brutal. Drop a glove, and it’s gone. Let go of your ski poles for an instant, and they’ll scurry down the mountainside like rats down an alley.”

Call us sadistic, but that sounds sweet!
