The crossing of Iceland Highlands

By Allan Asle

In march 2018, the actor and adventurer Allan Asle go back to the heart of Iceland accompanied by Thomas Migevant a young talented chief operator and nature lover.

For some years now, Iceland is committed in tourism promotion towards adventurers and nature lovers. However, in winter, the main part of the island is unpracticable due to extrem weather conditions. The highlands are covered with snow and can only be accessed by nordic skying.

During their journey, Allan and Thomas will meet locals with untypical and fascinating occupations. They will speak about their way of living and handling this particular nature and will depict a portrait of them. The idea is to highlight this misunderstood winter island in a faithful and cinematographic way. The goal of the expedition is to gather several subjects : climate, social, human, tourism; getting confronted with the harsh conditions of such an expedition for more realism.
