With Sulfur Steam Eastward🧭

Today we headed east in 8 degrees and drizzle.🌧🌬

Of course, we chose a few spots along the way, one of which was even hot.🔥😉

But first, there was a crater hike🛘 around Hverfell.

It was a windy affair but had a fantastic view. 

Like a planetary change.

Greetings from Lord of the Rings. 🧙🏻‍♂️

Luckily, the rain was manageable, and we could still check out the lava formations in Dimmuborgir.

Not bad, but a bit too crowded overall.🙄 Regardless, still cool!

Then we continued to the hotspot♨️ Hverarönd. An active geothermal area with mud pools and hot sulfur gases.

100 degrees.

Here too, you feel like you are on an alien planet. Truly surreal.😃🧐

It bubbles and steams everywhere. Plus, the color spectacle. The sulfur smell is present as well.

Unique and bizarre!😮

But we had to hurry, as we still had roughly 300 km to our destination in the deep east, and the Jimny is not a speed monster.🐌

But even the drive in the rain was an experience. 

Through crater landscapes, rocky deserts to lush green hills and mountains with snowfields, it had it all. ⛰️🏔

It's truly amazing what this country has to offer.🥰

Before we reached our hotel, we dined at a cozy harbor tavern.⚓️

Fish of the finest quality.🐟

We arrived in Neskaupstaður around 10 PM.

New hotel across from the fjord.🏞

We'll stay here until Monday.🤗

Stay tuned!

Dine❤️Jeff
