Pesiman Very nice pictures and thanks for sharing them with us. I will dig up the name of the men i meet from your country. They where all very nice to talk with. They built up some Ford trucks put toppers on them and went up to the arctic circle in Canada. This would have been four or maybe five years ago. I will find the picture of my jeep beside there trucks.

I spent quite a bit of time in Iceland in the 70s and the 80s . Been all over It. Just wondered where you are at. Never seen any trees except the ones at Kef. Did a job at whale bay at the Nato fuel pier in the 80s. there is an Icelandic saying there "No mutton for sutton".
