Iceland Saga IV
Utivist Bus
Constance and Min accompanied their human on a four day long trek in the interior of Iceland with the Útivist outdoor association.
Getting dropped off at the bottom of Sveinstindur
This bus conveyed us a couple hundred kilometers east from Reykjavik, then turned north and followed winding paved and unpaved roads that turned into gravel tracks, and finally just lines on the ground. The bus stopped at the bottom of a mountain in a treeless cinder and ash valley.

Start of the Trek
Constance was very enthusiastic to begin her hike up the scree slopes of Sveinstindur mountain…

Rest stop part way up the mountain
Constance took a break to admire the view, and catch her breath. That is Vatnajökull glacier behind her on the left side of the picture.

Going up the mountain
The cairn at the top of the mountain was just a few steps away – the view was breathtaking!

Constance and Min are taking me to places I would never have seen otherwise! Thank you.
We are so happy you liked the post! another couple of days of Hiking coming up!
The start of an absolutely wonderful adventure!
It was wonderful!
I am VERY much enjoying this series! What a fascinating place, for sure! Wonderful photographs, my friend, absolutely wonderful!
Thanks, Toad….Iceland is wonderful, but I am afraid that there are no amphibians or reptiles in Iceland, except in the little zoo, so it may not be a good place for Toads…
Words cannot describe – This place is too beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more gorgeous pictures.
Yes, words failed me, I was filled with wonder. No adjectives were adequate!
