To get to the arctic island of Iceland, most people fly. Well, there's four-wheel drive or . . . The Icelandic horse is one of Iceland's oldest modes of transportation.
Icelandic horses date back a thousand years.
On their backs, these pint-sized ponies carried Vikings, armor and all. Nowadays, Icelandic cowboys carry on the age-old tradition of drinking and driving. Driving horses, that is. Like a cattle-drive, but no cows. Tourists can also take to the backs of these sure-footed creatures.
