D – snail (aka Dom) here. I have been posted in Iceland for the past 5 months collecting tip bits for our ambitious journey, and occasionally “studying” earth sciences at the University of Iceland. During my time here I have witnessed the ferocious nature of Iceland’s unforgiving, temperamental climate system. This has made me all too aware of the potential impending doom of our adventure, the success of which will be largely determined by our abilities to cope with the elements. Fierce headwinds, horizontal rain, dust storms and perhaps even some snow will batter our shells as we stubbornly slide forth…hopefully. Never the less we are whole heartedly committed to our cause and regardless of conditions this is going to be a truly epic journey of awe-inspiring natural delights, the country would not allow for anything else. So, stay tuned from your comfy desk chair as we sweat our sluggish snaily selves around this enigmatic land forged by fire, calved by ice,.. have a laugh, spare a prayer, and dream up some devilish dares for donations.
