a few shots from my walk up north

Postby wobbly » Sun 01 Sep, 2013 10:34 pm

Last month I finally managed to achieve a long held dream of travelling to and walking in Iceland. It is an amazing place. These are a few shots from the first 2 days of the 4 day long Landmannalauger to Porsmork walk. I also managed to do the Porsmork to Skogar walk (2 days) and a 4 day walk on Hornstrandir pennisular.

Just came across an article on Wired that relates to Iceland - "Mesmerizing Iceland Map Puts a Volcano in Your Pocket"
