So, summer is coming to an end on the island's south east corner like on the rest of the island. The staff opperating the glacier sailing on Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon are saying farwell to summer with celebrations at the lagoon coming saturday august 25th,2012. The rescue team in the area will light up the icebergs in the lagoon with candellights and a following fireworks display. Then a true country ball to mix people into the night. Always becoming more and more of a trend on the island and up to 2.000 people expected to attend the event this time. Wish I could be there but our super jeep is in a specialized workshop at Artic Trucks where it is being fittet with 37" inch tires, airpump and an engine snorkel. 350 km to the lagoon, a bit to long for a walk unless you're Forest Gump himself.
