The Story Behind Iceland’s Super Jeeps
Icelanders have a long history of customizing vehicles to conquer their country’s challenging terrain. Jeeps first arrived in Iceland during World War II, brought by American soldiers. Locals quickly adapted them for off-road travel, modifying their suspension, tires, and engines to handle snow-covered mountains, lava fields, and deep river crossings.
Unlike in other countries, where lifted trucks are often for show, Icelandic super jeeps are built for function. They make it possible to venture deep into the Highlands, cross glaciers, and reach places that would otherwise be inaccessible—all while ensuring a comfortable and safe journey.
