sólheimasandur plane wreck

I’m not going to ruine that feeling, standing between 200 selfie sticks. The plane is about 4km away from the road.Hi Larry, i just got back from Iceland today, me n my husband with our 2 babies walked a total of 8km to and fro the plane wreck site.

You can’t see the wreckage from the road, and there are no information signs at the gate, so it’s tough unless you know where to look.So convinced that Iceland is the one place that I really must tick off in 2015, and photos like the one with what’s left with the plane and the light above only make me wish we’d made this trip this winter.After seeing photos & hearing stories from other travelers all year, I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to go. Keep driving until you see the crashed airplane, about 4km.You won’t spot the wreckage until the last minute because it’s hidden behind a sand dune near the edge of the ocean. Btw, I drove there in a standard 2WD rental.

No chance that I will ever visit the plane again, because it’s crowded and not unique anymore.
One such person complained he would call the police because people were “not allowed” to drive there in a 2WD (there were a few by now). I told the driver that he’d probably be OK – if he was very careful and slow.

;-)Yes, I believe it does! Many hours of waiting for that single photo…Very helpful. Thank you for the directions. However, it is possible to get some nice shots that don’t include other people – you have to be both patient and quick. Save your selfies for in your hotel room, posing in front of a mirror!

Ignore that.

We would have had to pay the entire amount of the car if we didnt have it and we were on the ring road the entire time!haha, this person works for a car rental service in Reykjavik. While sitting there, I noticed a car duck in, spotted the opening.Thank you for the informative site, I had the BEST time! After driving past Skógafoss going East on Route 1, you’ll cross a bridge with blinking yellow lights and a dirt access road to Sólheimajökull Glacier on the left.The road sign here [PHOTO #1] marks the glacier access road. The Plane Wreck Shuttle service takes you the 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) to the DC-3 wreckage in just 15 minutes. Expect it to take about 40 minutes. But don’t worry, you won’t get bored in Iceland. Cannot wait to officially see this beaut in person.I’ve known about this site for several years and desperately wished to photograph it. Are you sure that walking to the site is allowed? It was a looooooooooong and tiring walk, as we babywear our kids with a carrier, weather wasnt great, it was raining througout the walk, and it was FReEZING!! Gardez aussi en tête que le metal est très coupant et peut facilement blesser les visiteurs.Sólheimasandur is a vast area of sand and gravel along the South Coast of Iceland, between the cliffs of the interior and the modern shoreline. I’m planning to return soon too.

We used large air bags and a compressor to lift the fuselage to remove some brackets under the tail section.Question: is vehicle access still restricted?

Just need to drive slow and watch out for some big stones and pot holes.Thank you so much for posting this! Well worth the visit just to see the miles of moonscape with a few hardy tufts of green. Mysterious & cool.What a magnificent site! how long will it take for a slow walker during end of sep or oct?

This was so worth the two hour drive and 25-30 min hike in. The landowners are citing environmental reasons because people are driving off road and are leaving the area a mess.

It looks like a scene out of some post-apocalyptic zombie movie!The wings & tail are missing, it’s full of holes, and the crumbling fuselage is covered with wind-blown black sand. Really killed the experience for us. Some respectful, others less so. Of course, he had charged the 5 or so tourists with him 50EUR to take them there and was annoyed his story didn’t play out so well.

Added it on my to-do list.

Wanted to know if this is open all year long, at all times? Like in Landmannalaugar (Mt Everest base camp :-b), Gullfoss, Dettifoss….Problem for photographers who can’t make beautiful pictures of these spots: many people arrive by plane, rent a (very) expensive car,Is it illegal to travel on that road in a passenger car, or just not recommended?I just wanted to say thanks a million for this post. It increased tourism as people come flocking and spending money to see that spot.hey matthew, thank you for the inspiring article! Below you’ll find driving directions to the plane.The 40-year-old weather-beaten aircraft has become one of Iceland’s most dramatic photography spots due to its remote location on a desolate black sand beach. I’ve done similar things.Iceland in July 2015 for me, can I drive to the site directly or does it involve any small parts of river crossing by foot at or near the site.Thanks for the excellent directions, been searching for this for a while, definately on my to-do photography list.Planning a trip to Iceland in July, renting car. They changed the first sign you see after you turn off the main road. Here are the directions to find it.It’s one of Iceland’s most iconic & haunting photography locations.

Il volait depuis Höfn sur la Côte Est de l'Islande et comptait sept membres d'équipage.Personne ne sait vraiment pourquoi l'avion s'est écrasé, même si plusieurs théories circulent.
