There are roads going upland to the top of the local glacier that are
marked as "Impassible" in Icelandic. They really mean it.
When my wife and I were in Iceland, there were stories in the local English-language newspapers giving the story of a French family that
drove by such a sign not realizing what it meant. They had to be
rescued by a specialized armored vehicle from large rocks being blown
off the glacier. Their car was abandoned, totally destroyed.

OK, and what does this have to do with "electronics"?

It is fun to sit in the tent near the murmuring glacial stream
and advice a friend & customer on circuit improvements.
A Dell XPS13 always fits into the motorcycle bags and Internet
is excellent there, even in the desert.
I should have done that more often.

Of course one is left wondering how a road in Iceland possesses an
attribute exclusive to God (impassibility, i.e. God cannot be acted upon).
Devious folk, these vikings.
