Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I will never forget the 6 day trail running and sailboat adventure in Hornstrandir nature reserve in Iceland. Hornstrandir has been uninhabited for more than 60 years and which has allowed the wilderness to flourish. There are no roads, so the sailboat seems like the perfect way to access the area, along with running the trails. Sandy beaches, lush vegetation, bird cliffs, fjords, mountains and valley and more is what this area offers. This is the land of the arctic fox, where it lives wild and the only area in Iceland where it is fully protected. This is also where two of the largest bird cliffs in Iceland can be found and so the wildlife this heavenly place offers is very unique. So we run between fjords and use the sailboat as our movable backcountry hut. Further read here: http://www.thuletrails.com/runningblog/2016/9/26/running-in-iceland-with-rob-krar"
