Imagine you take a tour there: "Over here you see some people in jeeps driving up a mountain. Oh and over there on the lake is Jesus"

Yeah, but his passenger was only half the size of a real one.

now that's ALL TERRAIN

Doc: Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads. Marty: So we going to Iceland then? Doc: ..., ..., yes.

[@SomeUnsoberIdiot]

No. If you drive on our moss we'll end you. Drive on the road or stay out.

[@carlbirtles4518]

All you obviously need are treaded tires, a V8 engine and off-road suspension.

[@2KXMKR]

Richards advice was close, but no quite true. What you should remember is this ; If you find yourself near an Icelandic bloke, don't get in his car.

[@That0therG]

or you could just walk?

[@jocar3234]

never got why Iceland is greener then Greenland and has less ice

[@MystikalDawn]

apparently it was named that way on purpose to make Iceland sound worse to live in than Greenland to prevent more people from settling there.

[@NeverFoundSanity]

guess it worked

[@prophet2.06]

That is completely true, as an icelander i can confirm that is a very bad idea

[@jordy2299]

This must be one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen An off-road car driving over a lake

[@jonsigursson5231]

well a lake isn't a road so it makes perfect sense

[@piwright42]

Pure hydroplaning brilliance. I was not too surprised, we have been doing this for over years on quads now. Still that Icelandic Jeep looked too heavy to pull it off. It was awesome to see the suspension work as it skipped over that choppy water. I was not shocked to see the snowmobile take it, better power to weight on one of those. Thank you Top Gear, once again great entertainment.

[@just_some_bigfoot_hacking_you]

Love how Top Gear features Formula Offroad. Good old times.

[@rock4lyf1]

For anyone wanting to know the music when Richard is driving on the water 'Verdi: Messa da Requiem - Dies iraes' '

I can't believe how good the music can be in these BBC videos... 3:04 Aphex Twin's remix of Die Fantastischen Vier - Krieger

I remember watching this as a kid and the I found it so fascinating was unbelievable, but since I understand the concept of psychics it doesn't surprise as much but it just so cool!

[@gmachineCS]

I love how they make Icelanders seem so crazy! xD

[@bokeflo]

Hammond Looks Like He Had a Great Time on His Iceland Buggy Trip.

[@RUFU58]

Literally cannot get anymore off-road than that!

[@CyberdyneSystemsSkynet]

kinda figured it would work. I live in the U.P. and about 3 hours south of where I live there's an inland lake that has ramps and that is used for snowmobile races in the winter, about two years ago, they started using it in the summer too...with the snowmobiles. It's pretty fun to watch!

[@DireWolf64]

"Geesli Goonar Johnson" XD that's pronounced so wrong but still so right!

[@phantomunmasked]

LOVE THE USE OF VERDI'S DIES IRAE FROM HIS REQUIEM DURING THE RUN! omfg this clip was SOO epic.

[@n0body550]

“This is Iceland remember, they think Björk is normal here” Probably my favourite quote ever

[@Abe4489]

They've been doing this in Wisconsin with snowmobiles for years.

[@BenediktRunarsson]

And they do it as well with snowmobiles in Iceland ;o)

[@kevenharvey9711]

I'm 30 and as far as I can remember they have been doing it here in Canada, this probably started 40-50 years ago.

[@BenediktRunarsson]

With snowmobiles or cars?

[@kevenharvey9711]

Benedikt Runarsson As original post said, snowmobiles, it is Canada after all ;)

[@gbzhemn1]

In sweden as well. At local farmer's markets, faires, etc.

[@TheLobstersoup]

I honestly didn't think that car would make it. The snowmobile is a lot limber and has the shovel things on its tracks. But to lift one and a half ton across water and make it to the end. That is crazy cool! If the Topgear team had tried this themselves, they would have probably sunk the jeep, and its rear end would still stick out of that lake. Nice driving, I think Water must be weird to drive on ^^

[@phoenixdzk]

It's been 11 years. Does not get old

[@brettholomew21]

Seen that with snowmobiles. It's pretty amazing...

[@Renee_R343]

I don't think I'd have the guts to drive up that mountain like that. These guys are truly nuts over there. And I thought usual hill climbs were extreme. Damn

one of the coolest things ive ever seen

we have snowmobile races on water here in Minnesota it's quite a sight too see

Thats insanely cool!

[@goodvibrato]

I've never seen anything like that. Too cool.

[@thelongrun5077]

I live in the Northeast part of U.S. and some people still have no clue what a snowmobile is. Weird to me, they're awesome. Went 85 mph through a field on one once. Scary, but fun.

[@randomsmartdude]

Shows you how cool Richard Hammond is

[@ResmeN]

That is bloody awesome.

[@WantTeaBag]

LOOK SO MUCH FUN!

[@stevemyers2092]

a fellow called Frenchy Cloutier used to drive across the Matagami river in the summertime in TIMMINS ONTARIO, think Shania Twain, that's where she's from too. He was doing that with his snowmobile back in 1970 so - I am sure he wasn't the 1st but likely the 1st to do it on TV.

[@TheUnnsteinn]

im from iceland and i love it

[@rekkedsnarf]

Well said jimqa2. As a Dutchman I think that the people of Iceland can keep the money, we've got enough as it is. Also, Brulluhman, if you say all those historical stuff you can keep on discussing for ever and ever, because we lost and won battles against England in the past, so both sides can say: "We've beat you in the past!" Let's just stick to football when it comes down to fighting battles, on the pitch I mean.

one of the coolest things to do on water!!!!
