Let's have at it again, eh? Grimsvötn, Iceland's big bad boy is currently presenting a nice spectacle...and should the winds turn to blow from the NW, Europe's gonna have the same circus like last year.
Can't wait... -

I hope it won't affect airspace over Norway, esp. with my Riga trip coming up shortly.I am extremely serious. -

I'd love to visit Iceland. There was a programme on TV the other day. It was about walking route and it looked stunning!The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

For fuck's sake! I had a flight booked for Aberdeen tomorrow which has been cancelled. I was in the exact same predicament last year. Feels like fucking deja vu. -

See?
And Alan, having been to Iceland myself: it's the most beautiful country I've ever visited. The rawness of the landscapes, the stark contrast and the wide open skies certainly left an impression on me. If you ever have the chance to go (esp. since Iceland's become a bit cheaper to travel to in recent years), then by all means to do!

I'm going to Iceland this year, for three weeks! What was your favourite spot Christian?Kazoo -
- CommentTimeMay 25th 2011
*envy alert*
I definitely liked the Northeast the most, esp. the area around Mývatn (fresh lava fields and geothermal areas that steam and stink! ). The empty Highlands (Kjölur, Sprengisandur, Askja) I found utterly spellbinding. The rugged fjords in the East are also worth a visit. Landmannalaugar and its splendid array of colours...and the hike from there south over Eyjafjallajökull to Þórsmörk was a highlight of my life.
If you have a chance, take a bath in a hot spring. Very invigorating and good for your skin.
Did I say envy alert?

A hike on a glacier... Awesome!
The highlands are central Iceland? I don't think we'll do that. How long where you there?
What about the Westfjords Christian?Kazoo -
- CommentTimeJun 16th 2011
A bit late...
The Highlands are indeed in the centre of Iceland and were simply stunning. Our field trip back in 2005 lasted three weeks.
Haven't really been to the Westfjords...they are sparsely populated and from what I've heard/seen, they are not unlike the Norwegian fjords.

Inside the Eyjafjallajökull:

If all goes well, in about 4 weeks, I'll be close to this place as well. We'll hike up the mountain pass between Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. We spend a night in a hut there and explore the region a bit. The day after, we'll join hundreds of people to descend to the other side to Thorsmörk to celebrate Midsummernight (June 21) with a BBQ and roasted lamb. After that, we start the most well-known hiking route of Iceland: Laugavegur.

Sounds brilliant, Bregt! How much planning does a trip like that require, and what is the cost, approximately?I am extremely serious. -
- CommentTimeMay 22nd 2012 edited
Not so much. We took two weeks off at the end of June to do the Laugavegurinn (4 days, 3 nights). All other days we would explore South-West Iceland. So that's what we'll do. By coincidence, in this two week period, there is the National Day of Iceland (17 June) and Midsummernight (21 June). I found out there was a yearly event in that weekend of several 100 of people hiking over the pass and celebrating at the other side. So I e-mailed the organization and asked if we could join. Paid for the hut for the extra night and the BBQ and that's about the only organization.
Hut and BBQ cost both around 20EUR. Flight was 250EUR. All the rest will be food, accommodation (hopefully lots of camping) and bus/ferry.
The idea is to visit the Westmann islands and Vik before we do the hike. The hike ends at the hot pool area of Landmannalaugar (a magical place we visited last year too).Kazoo -
