Iceland Airwaves
full of awesome. I’ve been in Iceland since Saturday, and there are so many impressions. where to start?
I think it’s a tie between driving over unsealed road 52 from Rykholt to Þingvellir, all gravel and steep awesomeness, driving though the glacially scowered black volcanic desert en route to Vik , or driving back over the plateau towards Reykjavik when the rain turned to snow due to the height and the whole moss covered lava landscape turned into everything being white, white road, white sky, white lava plains.
pictures to follow ofc.
Much of Iceland is, to me, bleak, forsaken and desolate in places. RVK seems to be the complete opposite of the entire rest of the country. You probably need a car to appreciate the country properly, and I am a bit sad that we lack the time (and the inclination) to really get around to the other side of the country and see what is there. Mostly the towns other than RVK seem functional in the extreme, with fuel stations, tool shops and community centers dotted about.
That’s all for now folks :)
