Description

This corporate documentary was filmed on the sands of the south coast of Iceland and describes the construction of the road and the bridge over the great glacial river Skeidará, the last obstacle impeding the completion of the road around Iceland. Riders demonstrate how the river used to be crossed, and take us on the old route over the glacier, which was used when the river was in spate.
