Crashed DC 3 Plane

The wreckage is located near the town of Vik in southern Iceland and is one of Iceland's must-check-in attractions. There are two ways to go: drive to the bus station, take the bus or walk to the wreckage location, the other is to participate in the ATV cycling group, we go to the snow in winter, and we will go over a small river, it feels great. The cost is a bit hehehe

On November 24, 1973, a US Navy aircraft (C-47) was forced to land on a vast wasteland in southern Iceland due to exhaustion of fuel. The crew all miraculously survived, but because the cost of recycling the damaged aircraft was too high, they simply left the wreckage here. Sleeping with the sun and moon, accompanied by strong winds and snow, exudes the apocalyptic loneliness and desolation. So when we made Icelandic itinerary planning, we listed this location as a must-see attraction, even if a couple of young Chinese couples were frozen to death at night in the past, it could not stop our enthusiasm for the wreckage. The location is very good to find, continue to drive south from Skoga Falls, and it takes more than ten minutes to get to the parking lot. There is no ticket to the attraction, but because the wreckage is in a private territory, there is only a walk from the parking lot or a shuttle bus from the owner of the territory. I heard that walking back and forth 7 kilometers, it took more than three hours. Originally we were excited to walk in, but after getting off the car from the parking lot, the wind in Iceland really made me feel what was being blown away by the wind, people almost stood in the wind, so immediately hide back in the car, quietly waiting for the shuttle bus. About half a child, the shuttle bus came, got on the bus to buy tickets, and went back and forth 2,500 kronor per person. So our group of four people was carrying a squat, and silently thought about various photo positions in their minds. The shuttle bus drove about 15 minutes, the wreckage was so sudden, everyone jumped out of the car excitedly, but we were greeted by a stronger wind, mixed with gravel paved surface, people feel difficult to open their eyes. I finally understand the reason for the young couple to freeze to death, in this place that is not blocked on all sides, under such a large wind, maybe the average person can not hold for half an hour. Maybe our season is cold winter, maybe the wind is too strong that day, the temperature is too cold, everyone on the shuttle bus hurried to the attraction to complete a few punch-in photos, and then quickly returned to the car, the whole car from getting off to the return car took only ten hours. Five minutes or so. Only the wreckage of this half-century-long Icelandic plane, and the barbaric growth of the barren and ruins here.
