Land Rover has been shipping motoring journalists out to Iceland for the past month to drive the new Discovery Sport. The photos are fantastic. See the firm’s Facebook page for more.

Iceland is more difficult for mere mortals to reach. Taking your own car involves a drive up through Denmark to catch the infrequent, very popular and quite expensive 47 hour ferry via the Faroe Islands with Smyril Line. However, Venture4x4.co.uk (@VentureOffroad1), which runs guided, off-road tours around Iceland, says it will happily advise anybody wanting to visit the island whether they book with the company or not.
