Iceland Day 4, 1st July 2008

We are off to a glacier today to prepare the team for our attempt on Mt Hvannadalshnjukur (2119m) Iceland’s highest peak later in the week. The glacier we used was close to the road and proved to be very popular with tourist’s who paid for guided tours by local guides. We watched a local guide fitting crampons to a pair of trainers.

We checked all of our equipment and covered the range of skills required to make sure the team were fully prepared for the peak. This was a fun day and in the afternoon we set off for the long drive down to Skaftafell National Park.

It continues to be very wet and windy in Iceland and we seen a large number of rainbows as we drove to our new base.
