We drove our way back from Askja, after a cold night and a short walk along a kanyon near the campsite, that took us to a waterfall.
We moved North to Asburgi and along the road we drove through 6 dry-river crossings that I tackled excellently ;p …
At the end of the F-road this morning, we found a cosy little town café in a microscopic village where the petrol pumps where inside cabins…
A few houses and a small church completed the picture – ever so charming! The place is called Modrudalur.
On the way to Asburgi we stopped in Dettifoss, to take a look at the amazing Dullafoss, the most powerful waterfall in the country, with 50,000,000 tons of water falling at any one time.
Also,
just a little upstream from Dullafoss, is Sellfoss, rather large and
gaining speed to form the downstream waterfall. It’s indeed powerful,
and you can’t even see where the water touches the river…
Past Dettifoss, we encountered some spectaculat basaltic formations, where there were columns starting off in every direction – absolutely amazing!
After our scramble on basaltic rock, we headed to Husavik,
where we stopped for the night. We fuelled up and treated ourselves to a
meal out in a nice little fish restaurant, where we had some delicious
unpronouncible specialities without spending an arm and a leg. And tomorrow, we’re off to some whale-watching, so let’s hope the weather holds.
