Dagens citat

"The correct extremes are on Wikipedia between Rifstangi and Kötlutangi, that’s 370km as the crow flies but roughly 560km of walking through lava fields, forking rivers and possibly climbing a few volcanoes. ... The hard part of the summer trek will be to imagine the landscape being covered by snow and finding the most appropriate route. To ski in the dark or in the blizzard, GPS points will be taken every km or so. These waypoints will become my eyes."
