The circumnavigation of Iceland is
halfway finished!
The Baja Round Trip of Iceland, which we first told you about last week, has
been a great success so far and the car and driver are doing great!
We have been told the #2018 3000mAh
Receiver Battery is working up to four hours per
charge as the Baja 5B makes its way along the historic
Iceland Route 1, and each set of the #4837 front and #4840 rear Tarmac Buster tyres are lasting
up to 400km, or nearly 250 miles! The pictures in
this article were taken in the ancient city of Reykjavik, which
means 'smokey bay' in Icelandic, because of the many steam vents
and geysers in the area. The Baja 5B is shown in front of the
famous 'Pearl', which contains hot water tanks that warm the city
(as well as a rotating restaurant and museum of Icelandic history);
also in front of the very tall HallgrÃmskirkja church, which can
be seen from anywhere in Reykjavik; and below the statue of Leifur
EirÃksson, the Viking explorer who discovered Greenland and North
America in the 11th century. The 1400km (870 mile) journey is
scheduled to end soon, check back soon for more pictures and a full
report from Iceland! Just a few Baja 5B options are being used for
this trip: #4840 rear Tarmac Buster
