The Road Chose Me

Driving my Jeep up and onto a Glacier a third of a mile thick is easily the most jaw dropping and otherworldly experience I’ve ever had behind the wheel.

In this episode of The Road Chose Me we explore the Laki volcanic region of Iceland where a volcanic eruption so big and that lasted so long it killed more than 20% of all...
