Fixed for you.If you are financially able and have a desire to travel, book a trip to Akureyri .
Yep, been there too but much easier and cheaper to go to Reykjavik. When I was stationed there I drove the entire island in a VW Beetle with a tent, sleeping bag, lantern, fishing gear and food from the commissary. I did it in late July so I had daylight 23 hours. JO-4614 plate. Long trip but incredible scenery and people. When I told them I what I was doing, they offered lodging, food, and told me who to see at the next stop. A little scary because if you break down in some places you may be there a long time! My greatest memory of a 20+ year career.Fixed for you.
I spent a year at Hofn in '77-'78, got a three day R&R up there to ski (yeah right)When I was stationed there I drove the entire island ...
Was in Kef from March 75 to May 78. Navy. Did some repair work on avionics for the AF Connies. They gave me my one and only Connie flight, great ride.I spent a year at Hofn in '77-'78, got a three day R&R up there to ski (yeah right)drink. And then another 36 weeks at Kef from '83-'86 when flying.
I avoided the Connies, flew the E-3 later on, was at H-3 radar site. During 77-78 only got to Kef for in/out processing, mid-tour leave in/out, and a 6 day TDY to the hospital (actually only 1 day at the hospital but had to wait on transport). If you were ever at the Mess we probably bumped shoulders.Was in Kef from March 75 to May 78. Navy. Did some repair work on avionics for the AF Connies.

Shortly after my Connie ride one was taxiing out and had a main gear collapse right next to out hangar. All got out but she burned up badly when a fuel tank ruptured. We watched her burn. I quickly became less fond of another Connie ride. https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19780315-0I avoided the Connies, flew the E-3 later on, was at H-3 radar site.
