"Early in the day, the conditions were wonderful, the snow hard and good. The kilometers flew past under our skis, and Hvannadalshnjúkur moved slowly, but surely, past us on the right. After around a 3-hour hike, the Tetra unit beeped. It was the Emergency Hotline informing us that we had exited the defined danger zone, that is, the possible outflow area of the Grímsvötn floods."

In June 2020 11 women, the Snowdrifts, crossed Vatnajökull, around 150 km, on cross-country skis. The goal was to encourage women to experience the healing power of nature through outdoor activities, as well as raise funds for the charities Líf and Kraftur. In total, around 6 million ISK was raised during the walk.

The walk was featured in our NORÐUR journal. Read about the nine days it took to cross Vatnajökull glacier, Europe's biggest glacier.
