Un petit pas pour l’homme...
... ses quartiers, certaines pistes étaient déjà fermées ou considérées comme risquées selon la prévision météorologique. Si crever un pneu sur une autoroute suisse et appeler le TCS est une chose, se retrouver avec un pneu crevé au milieu des Highlands, sur une route où (presque) personne ne passe, il neige et sans réseau pour les téléphones portables en est une autre.

From Eyrarbakki we drive to the next village Stokkseyri and come to the end of the road outside a high fenced enclosure with a long building inside, which looks like a prison.
