Adventure runner completes never-before-seen expedition with a rugged laptop as his only personal item

"I was surprised to learn that nobody has ever attempted to run across the Vatnajökull Glacier. A lot of people have skied across it, but no one has ever done a run. It took me 48 hours to complete the 150 kilometres, with a few power naps along the way. Running in the Sahara Desert will probably seem like an extreme challenge to most people, but at least you know what to expect. You know that you’ll be running on sand, and that the temperatures will be high. That was not the case here. In Iceland, the surface constantly shifted between being stable, slushy, and even icy. Also, the weather was a constant mix of wind, mist, snow, sun, and temperatures both above and below zero."
