After the gorgeous detour presented in the previous article, we reached the track F208 which leads to Landmannalaugar, a spectacular volcanic site but too touristy for me.
 
 
1. The small lake that hosted us for the night.
 

 
 
2. VLV on the trail.
 

 
 
3. It was cold that night and it snowed at about 2,700 feet.
 

 
 
4. Contrasts of shapes and textures…
 

 
 
5. The weather is still changing.
 

 
 
6. Following F208.
 

 
 
7. Arrival at Landmannalaugar.
 

 
 
8. The colors are very different, definitely warmer.
 

 
 
9. Still contrasts…
 

 
 
10. …
 

 
 
11. Despite our still small Emile, we went for a “hike” of 4 miles km and he did it very well apart from a loss of balance making him fall into a hole at the edge of the trail, which impressed his mom more than him.
 

 
 
12. The mix of colors and textures is amazing.
 

 
 
13. We go up the bed of a nice stream…
 

 
 
14. … up to sulfur fumaroles.
 

 
 
15. The upper part of the refuge / camping, which is a real small town where too much rooms, tents, buses and camper mingle…
 

 
 
16. As it was difficult to make longer hikes with Emile, still too small for that, we took the trail toward North with a detour to discover the Lake Ljótipollur and its particular blue-green color.
 

 
 
17. …
 

 
 
18. Sigöldufoss, at the North end of road F208.
 

 
 
19. We spent the night at the coast of another lake, Fellsendavatn, along the road F228.
 

 
 
The continuation with the crossing of the Highlands all soon.
