2012 REPORT

 “Iceland is a country like no other, with 15 active volcanoes, 10,000 waterfalls, 800 hot springs, 11,500 square kilometres of glaciers, exploding geysers, the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun.   However it is Iceland, anything can happen with the weather. The OMM Iceland course takes in Lava fields, dormant volcanos, pools of bubbling mud, rolling hills, and coastal paths and trails that run over classical volcanic landscapes. Once again a checkpoint will be at the point where the tectonic plates of Europe and America meet.”
