Congrats Jaakko, very exciting! Really interested in this.
Thanks for the interest, Toni! It’s always nice to know that someone is inteersted in what you do. It’s kinda selfish assumption that there’s always some people interested in following ones wehere abouts. The expedition blog (in Finnish) should be online during this week! 🙂
Iceland is a very beautiful place, and budgetwise it’s probably easier destination for an adventure / expedition. A few fatbikers have been there in the summertime, but I would of course be interested in a winter fatbike expedition. 🙂
Iceland is good choise budgetwise when compared to “real” arctic regions beyond the seas. I think winter fatbike expedition would be totally doable. The Icelandic winter is quite different than the winter we have. There might be very little if any snow and the weather can be pretty shitty with rain, sleet and high winds… Not the best conditions for skiing across the island (glacier is different thing as snow/ice is certain) but totally doable for a bike. Maybe doing South-North crossing following some of the (summer) roads of the interior Iceland.
