\nAfter the Lakagigar, rather than go directly to the Landmannalaugar on F208, we decided to go to Langisj\u00f3r Lake via some less traveled trails that proved to be gorgeous…
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n1. River in the rain, along Southern F208.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n2. Rather curious sign, isn’t it? In fact, the trail goes into the lake on approx. 300 yards.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nHere is a video<\/a><\/em> of this unusual path done by Isabelle. The weather was windy, with rain and fog…
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n3. In places, everything is only mineral.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0

\n4. Langisj\u00f3r lake in the rain.
\n\u00a0

\n8. Fog…
\n\u00a0

\n9. VivaLaVida riding the moon.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n10. The rain finally stops.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n11. Invisible track. Thank you GPS.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n12. Desolation…
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n13. … and blackness.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n14. But these landscapes are amazing.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n15. The trail crosses another lake.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n16. Contrasts are everywhere.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n17. Our trail seen from the top of a hill.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n18. After driving in a lake, here we follow the riverbed for nearly one mile to change the valley! \ud83d\ude09

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n19. …

\n20. Fairy…

\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n22. Another ford.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n23. … and another.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n28. …
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n29. In places, this track less traveled requires a good 4WD transmission, as here in a steep descent.
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nHere is another short video<\/a><\/em> showing this trail. In video background, we can see the continuation of the track over the river, which goes up in the hills.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n30. Rain showers are back.

\n33. Another particularly saturated rainbow.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n34. We spend the night on the shore of a lake, near a shelter already closed for winter…
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nHoping that this update won’t have been too long… \ud83d\ude09
\n\u00a0
\nTo be followed in Landmannalaugar soon.
