Hello Netherlanders !
Last weekend a sad thing happened on “Laugavegur” the path
between ÿórsmörk and Landmannalaugar.
A 25 year old man from Israel was going to walk the “Laugarvegur”
The weather was rather grumpy, low temperature,
and the man had not enough gear to meet the Icelandic nature,
only thin clothes and sneekers.
He was warned not to go, but did not listen.
Later somehow he managed to phone 112 and call for help.
But when the rescue forces found him 12 hours after he started
the journey he was dead, of coldness.
This same thing happened on “Laugavegur” few years ago, so:
Pas op , respect the Icelandic weather !!!
Greeting from Ísland ! ÿG
