Introduction to Mountaineering in Iceland
Whether you prefer short walks or long, demanding hikes, Iceland is the place to be. It is a landscape full of surprises: here you can see boiling springs and glaciers side by side, colourful mountains, sharp peaked ridges, moss covered lava fields, black sands, fresh lavas, broad glacier outlets, and so much more. In Iceland there are very few trees, allowing you to see this landscape unfold before you in all directions. And don’t forget your camera because the light here is spectacular; many well known photographers have marveled at the incredible conditions. In this wild, unspoiled country you may have to wade through rivers, scramble up scree slopes and hike over rough lavas. This variability is mirrored by the weather. It’s just as likely that you’ll wake up to beautiful sunshine in the morning, be surrounded by fog at lunchtime, battle through heavy down pours in the afternoon, only to be rewarded with a breathtaking sunset in the evening. Come well prepared and you’ll experience adventures like no others.
Photos from Iceland
For 20 days we hiked over the uninhabited part of the island, camping in tents, carrying all our food and other stuff in backpacks. This is just a selection of the many pictures made.
