    What do you do when your car gets stuck in the mountains, in the middle of nowhere (I saw one car passing during the whole day), you burnt the clutch while trying to get out, you have no reception on your phone, the nearest farm is 7km away, it's getting dark, it's cold and VERY windy?

    You take photographs of the bloody fjord before it actually gets dark :)

      well... first I tried my phone from the top of the nearest mountain. nothing. then I went to the nearby shelter (around 2km away). there was a machine inside. looked like from 80s. everything was in Icelandic. I pressed some buttons few times, talked to the thing like stupid and came back to the car. the following day I walked this 7km. likely there was a hotel there and it was open! (it's quite rare during the winter time) I called my car rental company and they swapped the car in the evening. the following day I got a flat tyre :)
