Adventures of a lifetime, Part 2
Kirstie and Phil are now off to a much colder place. In
fact, the temperature has dropped to minus twenty
degrees Celsius. They have come to Iceland to try their
next adventure sport: snowmobiling!
Here glaciers cover eleven percent of the country, but
they are not easy to get to. Kirstie and Phil have to travel
in a specially prepared 4x4 vehicle. It’s a long and a bit of
a rough ride! The landscape looks like the surface of the
moon. In fact, astronauts came here to practise for their
expeditions.
Obviously, to ride one of these vehicles, you need to
wear special protective clothing. The good news is that
the accelerator and handle bars are heated! The
snowmobile’s top speed is ninety-five kilometres per
hour, but the terrain here is tough, so Kirstie and Phil are
taking it easy.
With snowmobiling, you should always follow your guide’s
advice. It’s best to do it when snow has just fallen. If not,
you might fall through the snow when the ice melts. It can
be very dangerous. Again, it’s not a cheap option, but the
landscapes are unique, especially as night falls over the
glacier.
