Just thinking about the cold: Here is a picture of the runway landing strip at the airport at Heimaey Island off the southern coast of Iceland. They don't usually get snow out there - but hey, how about that drop off??
Holy crap!!! I don't think I want to land on that runway....I am sure it would have to be a little nerve wrecking for the pilot as well....no drinky for him!
Doug, We actually saw that airport - but we arrived by ferry. When we were exploring, we never saw that view of the drop-off... that first step is a doozy!
Jillie - no drinky is right! Sheesh - I get woozy just imagining trying to land a plane there...sober!
Minka - yes, leave the Brennivin for the passengers who will need it as they look out the window upon landing...

Wouldn't want to miss by much, would you?

jillie...My first response was going to be: "Donæt worry, icelandic pilots are not known for extensive lubriction!" but it´s too late for that :)
That is a picture that reflects how we feel about life sometimes. If you're not careful...
