Writing for BBC Travel, Jennifer Kingsley takes us on a journey around the off-the-beaten-track North Iceland peninsula of Melrakkaslétta.
“By leaving the paved ring road and travelling 275km on roads 85 and 870 over three days, we entered a new territory of unexpected encounters, full of tundra beauty, moody vistas and unforgettable locals,” she writes.
