## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- 'Drive your own snowmobile' prices are per person on a shared sled: two people per snowmobile, swapping halfway.
- Trip length is not ride time: a 10-hour day from Reykjavík and a 4-hour trip from Gullfoss both give about one hour on the snowmobile.
- The Gullfoss and Geysir snowmobile tours do not visit the Into the Glacier ice tunnel; it is on the west side, from Húsafell.
- Driving a snowmobile requires a valid driver's licence; without one you ride as a passenger.
- There is no snowmobiling in or near Reykjavík; every tour drives 1.5 to 2 hours to the glacier.
