\r\n The Iceland traverse was part of a “double.” Two weeks later, I competed in the 450km\/280mi Tor des Glaciers race<\/a>. More info about the double at REPORT: The Ice and Glacier Double – Iceland Traverse FKT and Tor des Glaciers<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

Summary<\/h3>\n

On Aug 27, 2023, I was able to wrap up a new unsupported Fastest Known Time<\/a> (FKT) on the north-south traverse of Iceland<\/a> in 8 days, 11 hours, and 4 minutes. That’s 4 days, 15 hours, 41 minutes faster than Eli Burakian’s 2022 unsupported FKT<\/a> and 21 hours, 14 minutes slower than Meredith Quinlan and Jess Baker’s 2018 self-supported FKT<\/a>. I had good and bad times.<\/p>\n

Just another day on the traverse, making my way through thick fog, wind, and cold.<\/p><\/div>\n

The movie<\/h3>\n

Yes…patience please. I will post it here and on the YouTube channel<\/a>. For now, I hope you’ll enjoy the photos below. Also, check out the KGW segment below.<\/p>\n
