If you are ever going to do an overseas thru-hike, do this one! It has everything: multi-colored mountains, rhyolite rock formations, snow covered peaks, geothermal hot springs, geysers, glaciers, volcanoes, glaciers on top of volcanoes, I met Dan Cortese!, sweeping river valleys with moss covered spires, black sand deserts, rivers to ford, and waterfalls… so many waterfalls I stopped taking pictures of them.
Oh, an I learned what Tvölítiðfólk means in Icelandic; its basically when you take two midgets …
Cant think of a prettier trailhead…
The pics don;t do the colors justice.
Someone made a nice wind blocker…
Clearing the soup…
OMG
OOOMMMGGG
Idyllic little lunch spot.. took a long nap here.
Getting close to the glacier.
On top of a glacier on top of that volcano that erupted a few years back and stopped all air traffic.
