About the artwork

On 21 November 1973, a US Navy Douglas C-117D transport aircraft crashed on the beach at Sélheimasandur Iceland during heavy ice conditions. All seven crew members on board survived the accident and the aircraft was written off. The main body wreckage has remained relatively intact since the accident, making the crash site a tourist destination.
Over the years, however, pieces of the plane have kept disappearing because some tourists think they can take pieces with them as souvenirs.

To get to the wreckage site, you can use a taxi truck or you can walk to the wreckage, the distance from the road is about'4 km.

I have posted this photo in black and white because I think it shows it off best then.

It did take some time to photograph the plane without people.

This photo is a pearl for the wall and can actually be hung in all rooms.
