Don’t Worry Mom - The Roads in Iceland Aren’t That Bad
I drove up to the extreme north of Iceland yesterday to do some serious exploration. I told my mom not to worry… the roads are not too bad. I know that sign says “Impassable”, but that sign is clearly for other people, or it is written in Icelandic and means something completely different in English.
I could try to describe how cold it is, but I will not.

I don’t see anything wrong with that road!
I have a long, and dumbass, history of driving off on roads I shouldn’t have (a little venture into Glacier National Park comes to mind, snow banks overhanging the road).
By the way, I’m a big fan of your photography, and you and a very few others’ online postings got me back into taking pictures, something I long ago loved–and now do again.

This looks like a typical Quebec road in winter. What’s wrong with it? There aren’t even snow banks in the middle.
How cold was it?

Umm…that’s a road?

haha - the road was not in ideal conditions. I finally found one of those nice big roadside maps that Iceland has everywhere. They had a HUGE map of Iceland and they had a YOU ARE HERE dot that pointed OFF the bottom of the map! I’m not kidding…
