Among
Glaciers
UPHILL CONSTANTLY paved roads to agricultural areas
in the south. From the top of a pick-up capacity of 4 people, we see the
vegetation thinning, shrinking agricultural land, the land dried up, and the
sky seemed closer horizon away. In 40 minutes we move from the countryside to
the cozy Highlands, is uninhabited
and barren. F26 replaced with asphalt roads, or paths Sprengisandur, which parallel the crack zone. Unpaved road dust is large enough to pass two
vehicles and only opened in the summer.
You can go through the pathways along nearly 200 miles in a day, as
long as the weather and water levels permitting. Several hours passed, it seems
glacier Hofsjokull meets the horizon
on the west side, as well as several mountain peaks. “I've climbed that it, and that was years ago," Inga, mountaineers
senior, said. "Glaciers melting," he added. We passed through one
corner of the largest national parks in Europe, Vatmajokull. Same name for the glacier here, also the largest in
Europe. At the heart buried beneath the caldera.
Under Vatmajokull,
tendrils flood-magma-Formatting a hot spot volcano Grimsvotn, that erupted
in 1966, 1998, and 2004. The last eruption was
152 m melt ice in an hour and spewing ash that reached Finland. Some geologists
reveal areas that may destroy in part the earth's crust as nails destroy
weathered wooden planks. If there is a point that separates Europe and North
America, it's here.
In the summer season, the sun still lit up at six o'clock, as we descended the valley Krokdalur. We admired the series of waterfalls
formed by glaciers. Back to the asphalt
road. As evening approached, we arrived at the inn near a charming north coast Husavik, which is the area to see the
whales. Husavik economy now depends
on the people who are interested in seeing whales in the open sea NDI their
dinner plates.
