Fishing

Going to Hell

This is the way to Hell, literally. This is a lake in an old volcanic crater near Krafla Volcano in Iceland. The water is normally warm because of the geothermal powers that created this beatiful place but we were there in the spring while there was still alot of cold water that had melted from snow on the slopes of the crater. 

But still. We went to Hell. And then we bathed there…

Went fishing with my dad recently. The river is Laxá in Aðaldalur, Iceland. Mostly trout but a small chance of salmon as well. Very, very, very beautiful scenery. Nature and surrounding farmlife at its best. 

BBQ-ing at 1700 meters (about 5600 feet) above see level in Grímsvötn, Vatnajökull glacier, which is an active volcano.

On a trip over Vatnajökull glacier that I went on recently we stopped at a cabin at Grímsvötn, where there was a huge volcanic eruption last year. We had to shovel our way into the cabin as you can see. Its located at 1700 meters (about 5600 feet) above sea level. 

Deflating the tyres on the trucks. This helps them ‘float’ over the snow so they don’t track as deep and decreases the likelyhood of the trucks getting stuck. 

You can see two of the other trucks in the distance.

We stopped when we had driven a few minutes on Vatnajökullglacier to deflate the tyres on the trucks (which helps them ‘float’ on the snow). 

Fording Tungná River

So. A few weeks back I went on an epic road trip. Four huge jeeps, nine people and a huge glacier (Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland, the biggest glacier in Europe). I will be sharing photos from the trip over the next days.

Tungná is at the roots of Vatnajökull glacier and we had to cross it to get at the glacier.

Jökulheimar hut

So. A few weeks back I went on an epic road trip. Four huge jeeps, nine people and a huge glacier (Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland, the biggest glacier in Europe). I will be sharing photos from the trip over the next days.

This is the hut where we spent our first night, at the edge of the glacier. In front of the hut is my friends trusted Land Cruiser, which is the car I mostly travelled in.
