Brúarhlöð


 Brúarhlöð is the name of the highest part of a 10km long canyon. The river Hvita has buried its way through the breccias made of palagonite mixed with small rocks of basalt, strange rock formations and deep indentations called giant boilers. One of the beautiful sights on our trip!

Jet boat history


Jet boating came into being through the inventive genius of New Zealand CWF (Bill) Hamilton, who was looking for a means of boating on the swift, shallow rivers of the South Island high country where he farmed.  Bill Hamilton developed the concept of the jet boat when he ruled out as impractical the use of a conventional external propeller and instead devised the revolutionary internal impeller which provided through its design both propulsion and maneuverability.
In 1953 the jet boat was officially born and in 1964 the first commercial jetboats began running trips on rivers in New Zealand. Today commercial jetboating is one of the most popular tourist activities in New Zealand, Australia and North America.

Icelandic weather

The Icelandic weather can be cruel sometimes. In 10 minutes time you can have rain, sun, snow and even a storm acting up. And when you finally think the spring is here you wake up with 20cm of snow the next morning. It can be confusing for us being a Norwegian caveman used to narrow valleys with more trees than rocks experiencing all this at ones. But the days when the weather Gods are in a good mood and brings sunshine upon the island, the Icelandic wild nature is absolutely beautiful! With it's open landscape, smoky mountains and fantastic colors, we cannot compare it to any other countries we have visited.
Iceland is a land everybody should visit!
