Nordic outing

Expedition through Iceland takes a group of adventure-seekers over glaciers, mountains, lava fields

The wind howled. Hailstones the size of cricket balls fell from the sky. Inside the Toyota, modified to navigate Iceland’s dramatic landscape that is characterised by glaciers, volcanoes, geysers and lava fields, Manish Vij and his friends waited for the storm to subside. The blizzard had briefly interrupted the journey of the first-ever all-Indian crew on a self-driving road trip through Iceland. All five vehicles in the convoy, include the one Vij was driving, had come to a halt.
