Oh good! Drive your jeep thru a flooded river bed, get stuck in the rising waters far away from the bank or any help. Sounds like an adventure plan to me!
This was on a very shallow water, since the river is far far away. But the sand north of Mýrdalsjökull sometimes is flooded like this if the rain is heavy. plus I know the area very well as an experienced tour guide and a driver. :)
I read the biography of Gísli and saw the interviews with him. This guy is very similar in key aspects. He seems to prefer solitude over the company of other people. Or at least that is what he says. Although he doesn't seem to mind some company when fishing and he answers all the questions from the reporter also. Perhaps his preference for solitude is a bit overstated. I would guess that he has just gotten used to it, and its not really a preference so much as it is just his reality and he doesn't know anything else. After reading the biography of Gísli it was apparent to me that these individuals that are brought up in remote places often struggle with adjusting to society and what you might call 'regular people'. It is sad in a way that they have been isolated because of this. But, they have found a way to live with their choice of being alone. Which is of course good, that they maintain a positive attitude towards life in their own strange way. This interview is an important historical document in my opinion.
