Snowmobile in Iceland

We took a short snowmobile ride in the afternoon of July 15th, 2009. The snowmobile ride is run by a professional tour company.

To get up to the ice field, our tour bus had to go off road onto a long bumpy ride, until we reached this location, where we had to put on snow gear.

With snow gear on, we were ready to board the snow bus onto the ice field.

We went out 2 on each snowmobile. I was the driver, with my little daughter as the passenger, so some of these photos were taken by her.

We stopped mid way to re-fuel and take photos.

Here are a couple of photos of the ice field.

The hour long snowmobile ride seems too short, especially for those who had to switch driver and passenger mid-way. I am lucky to have the chance to drive the full trip, but still felt I wanted to drive more!
