ICELAND #4.
In May of 2023 I decided to longboard the entire distance around Iceland. The trip took me 39 days and I covered over 1330kms clockwise around the country of fire and ice. Encountering extreme weather, Code Yellow blizzards, traffic and exhaustion, narrowly missing volcano eruptions, the trip had it all!
This is the final episode of the Iceland series and wraps up Challenge #1 - Skateboard around Iceland.
In this episode I skate to the famous town of Hofn and then on to the Glacial Lagoon and Diamond Beach of Jokulsarlon. After that I head for home, passing Vik on my way to the finish line at Hallgrimskirkja in the centre of Reykjavik. Successfully completing the journey and becoming the 5th person to ever do so!
The biggest WIN of the trip was the suspension of the whaling hunt for the 2023 season saving up to almost 200 Fin Whales. This has been big news and is currently being disputed at present in the Icelandic Parliment. Please use your voice to help bring this barbaric practice to an end for good.
