Sigrid, 30, the only female super-jeep guide around Lake Mývatn in north Iceland.
“The one in the back seat is today's passenger. You sit up front, and don't touch its horns.”
An old sheep sits steady on the back seat, chewing, as if it paid the fare. She steers one-handed, the other hand pushing up the sleeve of her lopapeysa, her platinum-blonde hair whipping around in the wind pouring through the window.
“Is your car stuck in that river twenty kilometers back? Don't nod, I saw it. It started sinking an hour ago.”
She shoots you a sidelong glance; her thin lips curve for a moment, then she flattens them again.
