Laugavegur Trek, Day 2... Having on our first day descended from the blustery highlands and camped beside the calm waters at Álftavatn, we then walked for hours across black sand and lava fields before reaching our next camp, Emstrur. . . . #photography #instagood #nature #landscape #mountains #hiking #trek #trails #travel #adventure #explore #wanderlust #journey #laugavegur #iceland
Yesterday, we completed our 3 day, 55 km hike of Iceland's phenomenal Laugavegur trail between Landmannalaugar and Þórsmörk. Words and photographs simply do not do it justice. In many places in the highlands, it's like a walk on the moon in rainbow technicolor, surrounded by ice and steam. Here are a few highlights from Day 1 of the journey. . . . #photography #colors #rainbow #instagood #nature #landscape #mountains #hiking #trek #trails #travel #adventure #explore #wanderlust #journey #laugavegur #landmannalaugar #iceland
It's difficult to believe but our first team of 2 week volunteers have now come and gone here in Þórsmörk and Gođaland. What a fantastically productive few weeks of trail work! Our Básar based team of 8 have done some cracking repairs, new builds, and more up on the popular Fimmvörđuháls trail. Now we and the other longer term volunteers are about to begin a week of exploring and rest, starting with us hitting the Laugavegur trail tomorrow! . . . #photography #instagood #nature #landscape #mountains #hiking #trails #travel #adventure #explore #wanderlust #journey #þórsmörk #goðaland #fimmvörðuháls #iceland
It's a home team sort of day for me here with the trail team, so I've had a bit of time in between team leader responsibilities to return to my favorite (...at least thus far!) local trail, the Tindfjöll Trail. Here are a few of my favorite views from today's solo hike in one of my favorite places in the world... Life is good. . . . #photography #instagood #nature #landscape #mountains #hiking #trails #travel #adventure #explore #wanderlust #journey #þórsmörk #iceland
After a satisfying few days introducing the 6 week trail team volunteers to timber and stone step building, we all took a much-deserved day off to hike Þórsmörk's phenomenal Tindfjöll circular trail, taking in Trollakirkja (the 'Troll Church'), reaching the summit of Rjúpnafell (its steep switch backs visible for many miles before you reach its base), and gawking slack-jawed at the views from the overlook at Stangarháls. Here, some of the team approaches Rjúpnafell, prepared to ascend... . . . #photography #instagood #nature #landscape #mountain #hiking #trails #travel #adventure #explore #wanderlust #journey #þórsmörk #rjúpnafell #iceland
Here in Iceland, our great week of training to be volunteer team leaders with Þórsmörk Trail Team has drawn to a close. A day before we welcome the first group of volunteers from around the world, we've taken to the trails to explore more of the fantastically enchanting area that will continue to serve as our 'office' and home base for the next 6 weeks. Life is good. . . . #photography #nature #landscape #mountains #geology #trails #volunteering #hiking #travel #adventure #explore #wanderlust #journey #þórsmörk #iceland
