Mýrdalsjökull – F261 / F210

 
As previously announced, to go back to East, VivaLaVida left the pavement to discover the back of the Mýrdalsjökul ice cap .
 
 
1. “Gravel Bar”.
 

 
 
2. The sky is clogging as I move away from the coast.
 

 
 
3. Backlight…
 

 
 
4. Last blue hole before the rain. In fact, these ice caps create their own micro-climate; the air passing over cools down and condenses “downwind” in rain or snow .
 

 
 
5. Surprise at a turn of the trail: the magnificent Markafljótsgljúfur Canyon (the first one that pronounces this right wins a sweet ! 😀 )…
 

 
 
6. … and the beautiful fall of the same name.
 

 
 
7. Sheep stable…
 

 
 
8. In places, the rivers must make their way through the basalt.
 

 
 
9. F210 trail.
 

 
 
10. VivaLaVida enters in another black sand desert.
 

 
 
11. Little canyon.
 

 
 
12. Volcanic desert in the rain…
 

 
 
13. …
 

 
 
14. The trail directly on the lava in places.
 

 
 
15. …
 

 
 
16. …
 

 
 
17. Wild camp in the middle of nowhere at nightfall…
 

 
 
Next to come about F210 and F232 in a few days…
