Sólheimasandur’s big tourist attraction in Southern Iceland made
me sad. It's not the airplane crashed upon the black sands, it's the tourists who disappoint. I saw young men pulling pieces off the plane, and carrying spray paint cans to decorate with icing. Travel opens eyes.
Pass Skógafoss waterfall on the Ring Road 1 - look for flashing yellow lights. Parking area is on the ocean side. Parking is free. Wear warm clothing, it's windy. Follow the yellow road reflector plastic markers about three miles on black gravel. Stay on the marked road. This is private land. Do not trample on plants, many are endangered.
In 1973 this Navy DC-3 crashed in southern Iceland.
It won't will last past 2020. Tourists take pieces, climb on it, and make holes in the walls to climb up top.
I share this with you and sigh. Information on the internet can
be fabulous; but; however; instead; in this case it's people that aren't so fab.
