Actor Ben Stiller was enjoying a
peaceful walk on Reykjavík’s west
side in 2012. The actor gazed into

Gangleri Outfitters
The power duo Vaidas & Óskar started out as
party buddies until they discovered their joint
passion toward outdoor living. This passion
grew to become Gangleri Outfitters, the
outdoor equipment shop and rental in the city
centre, which opened its doors with a bang

that an unequipped traveller might need in
Iceland: tents, hiking boots, sleeping bags,
cooking gear, fishing sets... you name it! Even
if you have all you need for your adventure, it
is worth to stop by and ask for tips, as these
guys are really helpful.

with mustard. Since that day in
2004 this has been known as the
“Steaming Clinton.”
