A widow is trekking across freezing glaciers and volcanic mountains in memory of her "courageous" husband.

Sinéad Nolan-Martin from Wiltshire plans to walk 38km (24m) from Nesjavellir to Thingvellir National Park in Iceland for charity.

Her partner Harry Martin died in 2021 from a glioblastoma in his spine which paralysed him.

Ms Nolan-Martin said it will be "particularly special as it is something he wanted to do with her.

Ms Nolan-Martin said her husband was "inspiring" and took on many challenges for charity before he died

He spent a year surviving treatment and inspiring others by living with the most positive attitude he could whilst pushing himself physically and mentally.

My husband is an incredibly courageous and inspirational figure and he's definitely inspired me to take on a few challenges as well.

"At the time prospect hospice were running a campaign called "The Remember Me Rose".

"I picked a yellow rose because that was a special colour for us - it was our wedding colour."

During this next challenge she hopes to raise £2,990 for Prospect Hospice, an organisation that supported her husband through his illness.

"The challenge with this trek aside from the cold weather will mainly be the steep inclines," she said.

Ms Nolan-Martin said her route will not be affected by the current volcanic activity affecting the region.

"Thankfully at the moment we can still go ahead.

Ms Nolan-Martin said she is "especially nervous" for the Iceland trek as she finds steep inclines extremely difficult

"It's a place that harry wanted the two of us to visit together.

"I'm doing it with his dad and a friend of mine - we've for med team harry. It will be magical to do that experience together and feel him with us on the journey," she added.

The trek starts on 17 March and is expected to end on 19 March.
