Polaris is showcasing the extreme versatility and adventure-ready nature of its off-road and side-by-side lineup, with a women-only journey across Iceland.

Called the Polaris Outlanding Project, six female team members will journey across the volcanic landscape of Iceland in September.

The specially-equipped Polaris vehicles will embark on a week-long journey, travelling thousands of kilometres across the intense and breathtaking landscape of the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’.

The vehicles will be driven by six members of the Polaris team from across Europe, all with a shared urge to break from the ‘norm’ of everyday life, experience something new and unknown and engage other women riders to experience similar adventures. 

The teams will be driving three Polaris General 1000 Deluxe ABS.

The team will be completely self-sufficient without aids or support vehicles, travelling with just three Polaris side-by-sides and their camping equipment.

They will be driving the Polaris General 1000 Deluxe ABS. They will be equipped with a Campwerk iKamper top tent, a Taubenreuther special design Multi-Rack storage solution, XOBI outdoor kitchen, Pro Armor light bar, and beadlock wheels, Polaris Engineered rock sliders, front hood storage, in addition to the purpose-built features straight from the factory.

The journey will start in Reykjavík, the team will navigate through ford crossings, steep, slippery inclines, and the famed black sands, all of which will lead them to uncover some of the most beautiful landscapes and natural wonders in the northern hemisphere – including a close encounter with the erupting Fagradalsfjall volcano.
