Explore the forgotten planes of Iceland and discover an old and abandoned aircraft DC-3 hidden in Sólheimasandur. Just off Langanes airfield, this place is a great spot for tourists looking to explore something unique and different. The Douglas R4D-6 plane has been in the same spot for over fifty years and now serves as shelter for sheeps and an interesting sight for visitors. Take a trip to the stunning part of the country and make sure to check out this special wreck to learn more about Icelandic history!
