Female crew and Polaris hit Iceland

September 1, 2022

Showcasing the extreme versatility of the Polaris, six female team members prepare for the journey of a lifetime across Iceland.

Polaris expedition

Taking place this month, the specially-equipped Polaris vehicles will embark on a week-long journey, travelling thousands of kilometres across the intense and breathtaking landscape of the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’.

Representing France, Germany and Austria, Spain and Portugal, the United Kingdom and Ireland along with Scandinavia, the vehicles will be driven by six female members of the Polaris team, all with a shared urge to break from the ‘norm’ of everyday life.

The team will be completely self-sufficient without aids or support vehicles, travelling with just three Polaris side-by-sides and their camping equipment to sustain them over seven adventure-filled days.

The most versatile adventure side-by-side in the industry will spearhead the expedition: The Polaris GENERAL 1000 Deluxe ABS. Equipped with a CAMPWERK iKamper top tent, a Taubenreuther special design Multi-Rack storage solution, XOBI outdoor kitchen, Pro Armor® light bar and beadlock wheels, Polaris Engineered rock sliders, front hood storage and much more, in addition to the purpose-built features straight from the factory, the team will be well served to get the most out of every moment, day and night.

The journey will start in Reykjavík with a visit to Stormur EHF – the official Polaris distributor in Iceland – to collect their Polaris vehicles.

From there the team’s Icelandic adventure begins. Travelling over smooth tarmac roads to the less-travelled gravel F-roads, the team will navigate through water crossings, steep, slippery inclines, and the famed black sands, all of which will lead them to uncover some of the most beautiful landscapes and natural wonders in the northern hemisphere – including a close encounter with the erupting Fagradalsfjall volcano.

Imagine remote and unspoilt scenery including diverse lava fields and spectacular mountains, geothermal hot springs overlooked by looming glaciers, and breath-taking waterfalls that few places on earth can match; the Polaris riders will experience them all.
