Iceland
These Iceland images are from eight days walking the Laugavegur trail in August, 2014. The trail’s name means something like “Hot Springs Way” and its the most popular extended walk in Iceland. The trail traverses an astounding and varied volcanic landscape, first across colourful, thermally active rhyolite highlands, then through more stable and very black lava country, with icecaps looming all around. I walked south from Landmannalaugur to Thorsmork (“Thor’s Forest”) and then continued over the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull eruption and Fimmvorthuhals (“Five Cairns Pass”) to finish at Skogar on the south coast. (My apologies that this web template does not allow the use of special Icelandic characters for authentic spelling.)
