Extreme Commute

Are you tired of your trip to work and back? Shawn Parkinson doesn't feel sorry for you. He's one of a group of Kiwi butchers who make the trek from New Zealand to rural Iceland - for just two months' work each year. This is what his commute looks like:

Dannevirke to Auckland - six-hour drive. Auckland to Sydney - three-hour flight. Sydney to Dubai - 14 and a half hours in the air. Dubai to London - seven-hour flight. London to Reykjavik - almost three hours' flying time. Reykjavik to Blonduos, north-west Iceland - three-hour drive.

Two months later, he repeats all 22,300km (about 13,850 miles) on the return leg.
