I planned on daily updates but I was pretty tired once I got back to the hotel. Wifi in the hotel bar- nope. So I had a beer and that was it. So here’s yesterday’s update.
Here is the Wikipedia entry for Fagradalsfjall volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula, 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Reykjavík. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fagradalsfjall
I’m going to pick a few of 145 images I shot. Here’s the caveat. We did not make it to the volcano itself yesterday as the top of the mountain was shrouded in fog. We did hike along the Northwestern lava field. If you stood still you could here gas escaping and cracking and shifting under the cooled lava. The hike was a challenge, but good footwear and the voices in my head kept me going.
So that was the journey. Probably about 4hrs out and back. Don’t worry-
