Photo by @renan_ozturk // The intricate “strange terrain” of Iceland’s southern glacial braided streams are seen here in the dead of winter. If I was a Martian coming to Earth and seeing the landscape for the first time, this would be a fascinating sight to behold. This scene, the vascular system of an icy planet, bewilders even my human eyes. Shot out the window of a fixed-wing plane in minus 20 degree weather with @taylorfreesolo, who got frostbite and is still recovering to this day! Sponsored by @VW. Journey from one strange terrain to the next while answering the call of the open road in the new #VWGolf #Alltrack.
