Hey folks, this is Mason Gravely, the host of Adventure Sports podcast. Today we're talking to Jonathan Morsecato about crossing Iceland on foot.

Yes, that's 170 miles and five and a half days with about 20,000 feet in vertical elevation gain.

And so amazing adventure, lots of planning, trip of a lifetime for a lot of folks.

I mean, we've had folks talk about biking across Iceland and different kinds of trips or trying to get the FKT.

And this was a unique one.

Also cool because this feels like one of those trips that could be a great applicant for the adventure grant.

This is the last time I'm plugging it.

The adventure grant closes this Wednesday the 22nd.

So if you know anybody, whether it's you or a friend or family, wants to do an adventure

this year, whether you want to cross Iceland on foot, on kayak, by car.

Actually, that's probably not going to get the grant, just to be honest.

You know, in some sort of impressive way or not Iceland, it could be anything.

It could be paddling the river next to your house from source to sea.

I don't know.

Like, be creative.

If you know of somebody doing something like that, something that's worthy to talk about on this show, have them apply for the venture grant this year.

We're giving away $1,000 to the first place, $500 to the second and $250 to the third place, and gear.

That gear is TBD.

We've got kind of a lot of brands that, like, yeah, we'll send them some stuff.

And we're also going to send you some beer from athletic brewing to enjoy before, during, or after your adventure.

So yeah, please apply and go ahead and listen to this episode with Johnny to be inspired.

All right, let's jump in.
