Day 76. 14th September. Jökulheimaleið, Highlands, Iceland.

.

This is the first of two posts in a dramatic black and white landscape.  Snow on scoria.

.

I spent the night at Veiðivötn but I was having trouble with my vehicle.  The roof wound up for sleeping and I could still get it up and down but the mechanism had partly broken.  I rang up JS Campers and they drove out from Reykjavik, met me at Hrauneyfoss and swapped for another vehicle.  Great service!  So while I was at Hrauneyfoss I had a restaurant meal and filled up with petrol.  Then I headed off back towards Veiðivötn but instead turned off along the Jökulheimaleið or F229.  That leads to some huts at Jökulheimar and a glacier view but I didn’t get that far.

There were still a few living plants.

The camper, red the previous day, had turned blue.  Not for long as it would turn out though.

We might be in Egypt with pyramids covered in snow or looking at sand dunes, but no, neither of those.

I think this lake must be Hraunvötn.

Mysterious, elemental landscapes….
