i got struck in a thick snow, luckily able to get out with 4-wheel drive. My friend drove a 2-wheel car need helps to push from the back

Bring towing rope.

4WD pull 2WD out of the snow

i thinking of an open jaw trip

1) fly Finair into Helsinki -> then travel northwards to end in Ivalo

2) fly Finair from Ivalo back to SIN (via Helsinki)

Any feedback appreciated.

Likely to be a 2 week trip.

I flew Icelandair from Helsinki, think you can fly british airways from London.

Yes Iceland is a place i visited where i will remember in my life. I went during winter ending, if I have a chance to visit again i will go in summer time although more crowded but I want to try driving on F-road which closure on winter, and also explore further westfjords.

There will be road blockage if there are volcanic happening but it will not affect your journey, if there is a chance you should go see..

definitely....in my bucket list and to soak in the thermal blue lagoon pool as well......did you try?

Yup, i remember most locals drive 4WD. 

Just curious, since you did both Finland and Iceland, which is better if you only have time for one?
