88 Degrees East
Editor
The coastal "motorway" that links the Icelanders together is usually referred to less euphemistically by continental tourists who are used to asphalt or concrete. But to some Icelandic off-road enthusiasts it is much too smooth and unchallenging. Therefore they decided to cross the country through the uninhabited highlands from the est to the east. 800 kilometers of lava, strong rivers, mud and glaciers required specially adapted vehicles, but when winter suddenly fell with thick snow and serious accidents, the future of even the most carefully prepared expedition was thrown into jeopardy.

From Siberia with Love
Sound
For centuries driftwood from the European mainland and all teh way from Siberia has washed up on the shores of Iceland. This film shows a driftwood expedition casting off at a fishing village on the east coast of Iceland, bound for the deserted Langanes headland in the far north-east. The film not only shows the collecting of driftwood, but also deals with the history of the settlement on the headland, narrated in part by the last farmer to leave.
