With much of the US still gripped with record-breaking heat, turning the least strenuous outdoor activity into nearly swimming on dry land, try to cool down a bit by taking a gander at snowy Iceland. We’re a couple weeks behind on the release of this short film by Peter Trow documenting last May’s standup paddling trip to place where you can,
…paddle through icebergs in glacial lagoons, traverse Europe’s largest icecap, dodge a raging volcano, get drenched by spectacular waterfalls, stuck up to the axles on black sand beaches, soaked in eerily blue, hot geothermal pools, blasted by a series of lashing Arctic gales, get lost in tunnels under snow and sea, hike across black lava fields and around steaming volcanic vents, float across placid alpine rivers and mirror mountain lakes and stumble across a perfect point break…
The whole epic saga will be in the winter issue of SUP magazine and a full-length film is in the works too. Until then this pretty amazing footage will have to do.
