It’s been four years, but we still love adventurer Alastair Humphrey’s ambitious, unsupported journey across Iceland by foot and raft. With a friend, he travels south from Akureyri, over the highlands to the Hofsjökull glacier, down the Þjórsá river, along the Landmannlaugur trail, then paddled the Markarfljót to the sea. The twosome used Alpacka Llama packrafts and carried all their food and kit for a month.
