1. After refueling VivaLaVida (with about 10$ a gallon of diesel, it’s more than 400$.- to fill VLV!), we begin the crossing of the Highlands to the Northeast via the F26 road then the F910 which passes north of Vatnajökull.
 

 
 
2. We took two days to reach the site of Askja through beautiful and immense landscapes.

12. At 2400 feet elevation, snow is close.
 

 
 
13. Moss grows along furrows carved by surface water, forming geometric shapes.

18. As we borrow the Southern variant of F910, as we gain altitude, the weather decays and the snow quickly covers the lava.
 

 
 
19. While snowing, VLV is the only color note of this landscape.
 

 
 
20. Naturally monochrome landscape.

We spend a cold night not far from the Kistufell refuge, near the Northern end of the VatnaJökull.
 
Continuation of VivaLaVida’s journey soon! Thank you for your loyalty.
