Solheimasandur plane wreck in 1973 at south Iceland.
The Douglas R4D-8 US Navy transport plane had delivered supplies at Hofn Hornafjördur Airport for the radar-station in Stokksnes, Iceland. En route the airplane encountered severe icing. The crew were not able to maintain altitude. A forced landing was carried out on an ice covered river on near coast of Iceland. The ice broke but the airplane did not sink.
The remains of the plane were abandoned and the main fuselage as still there since 1973.

Must have a nice view up there in the plane, at least if anybody is in. The glow yesterday evening over Nieuwe Meer Amsterdam did me think of Coldplay's song Everglow :-)
