[冰島]飛越 Westfjords
[google翻譯 ,懶去打字/慢打字,所以 post上英文 ]

We had spent an exhausting six days driving and camping around the Westfjords: the remote slice of land that makes up Iceland’s northwestern corner. It was an amazing trip, but also amazingly tiring. “That’s it!” we cried once back in the capital. “That’s all the Westfjords we can take!” Little did we know, we’d return the very next day. But from a completely different angle.
[我們度過了辛苦的6天駕駛和周圍露營Westfjords：遠程片土地，使得冰島的西北角。這是一個驚人之旅，但也令人驚訝的累人。 “就是它！”我們在首都哭過一次。 “這是我們可以採取的所有Westfjords！”，我們不知道，我們希望第二天返回。但是，從一個完全不同的角度]

When the opportunity for a flight over Iceland arises, we’re never going to say “no”. And so when we had the chance to get into a Cessna, the day after returning from our trip to the Westfjords, we didn’t hesitate. Just a couple days ago, we’d thrilled to the sight of airplanes landing Ísafjörður’s terrifying little landing strip… and now we’d be doing it ourselves.

Here’s something to know about Ísafjörður’s airport: pilots from around Europe come here to train for “difficult” landings. If you can land at Ísafjörður, you’re pretty good! You can apparently land anywhere. Luckily… our pilot turned out to be pretty good. We flew in at an angle, straight toward a mountain, and dropped sharply toward the landing strip which was approaching far too rapidly. The touchdown was smooth, but I have no shame in admitting that I very nearly dropped a load in the back of our cute little plane.

The landing was the most exciting part, but flying over this region which we’d just driven through was wonderful. There, the Látrabjarg Cliffs! Breiðavík! The Dynjandi Falls! Patreksfjörður and Flateyri! From the air, the sheer insanity of the Westfjords’ landscape comes to life. There’s a reason hardly anyone lives here: this is a godforsaken land of unbreachable mountains and eternal snow. To fully appreciate its grandeur, you have to see it from above.
[當一個冰島上空飛行的機會時，我們永遠不會說“不”。因此，當我們有機會進入一個塞斯納，當天從我們的Westfjords之旅回國後，我們沒有猶豫。幾天前，我們會激動伊薩菲厄澤可怕的小起落跑道的飛機降落的視線......而現在我們會做自己。

伊薩菲厄澤機場了解這裡的東西：來自歐洲各地的飛行員來這裡“難”著陸訓練。如果你能降落在伊薩菲厄澤，你很不錯！顯然，你可以在任何地方降落。幸運的是...我們的試驗結果是相當不錯的。我們飛到一個角度，徑直奔向一座山，朝著陸帶太多迅速接近大幅下降。順利著陸，但我不得不承認，我在後面，我們可愛的小飛機非常接近負載下降沒有羞恥。

著陸是最精彩的部分，，但飛越這個地區，我們剛剛駛過精彩。在那裡，Látrabjarg懸崖！ Breiðavík！ DYNJANDI瀑布！ Patreksfjordur和Flateyri！從空中看，純粹的​​精神錯亂的Westfjords景觀來生活。幾乎沒有人住在這裡是有原因的：牢不可破的群山和永恆的雪，這是一個荒涼的土地。要充分認識它的莊嚴，你必須從上面看到它。]
