Photographer's Note

Day 7 : Hólaskjól - Landmannahellir

I wish to all of yours a good year 2013 ! I ended 2012 with an Iceland picture, I do the same for this new year : here is a view on Landmannahellir camp. This camp is along the F225 track road, a few kilometres north west of Landmannalaugar mountains. It has a few cottages, a camp site and of course no electricity, which makes it quite complex to manage batteries ! But most of all an outstanding scenery when you wake up in the morning ! We stayed 2 nights there.

I took the photo from a hill over the camp. It was in the afternoon so the light is not great. But when you see such a view, you just say "woooooow" ! In the very background you can see a trident like mountain : this is Krakatindur, a mountain near Hekla, one of the most known and active volcanos in Iceland. I think you understood why we nicknamed this mountain "Devil's mountain" !
