Driving Iceland

As part of our continuing campaign to educate the masses about one of my favorite places, Iceland, we bring you yet another article about this fine country. This one focuses on the Icelandic Road Trip, an adventure fond to my heart having done such a journey a few years back.
The article itself is also a few years old, but things don't change that quickly in the Icelandic outback. There are still almost no stop signs and still plenty of rivers to drive through. In fact, most of the autos on the island have special modifications to prevent such river crossings from flooding your muffler.
Highway 1, which circles the island, runs for 1,000 miles. My brother and I cut the journey in half by cutting through the center of Iceland where the landscape is other-worldly and bizarre. Either way you slice it though, driving in Iceland was one of the most spectacular experiences of my life. Wow.
And by the way, you'll pay dearly for it. The car we rented, some average South Korean 4X4, cost us $200 a day. Ouch!
