"Iceland isn’t as cold as most people think. Whether taking guests on ice cave tours in winter or glacier hikes in summer, the 66 North Hornstrandir shell jacket is durable, waterproof, and windproof. It’s still quite breathable and flexible, important for walking through the mountainside to view an active volcanic eruption, ice climb on a moving glacier, or just wander around the black sand beaches before bathing in a natural hot pool." - Lois Alter Mark Lois Alter Mark Lois has been writing professionally for over 25 years.Her personal essays won BlogHer's People's Choice Awards three years in a row.She holds a Master's Degree in Journalism from Boston University.
