The Road to Hofn
March 15, 2009


On Saturday, after some epic some organizing by Aidan, seven of us climbed into two Ford Fusions for a weekend trek through southern Iceland. After stopping at Skogafoss, we had lunch at Vik, which was the furthest my previous travels had taken me. We continued on through worsening weather to cross the glacial wastes below the Vatnajokull glacier before we reached Holmur, where we spent the night at a farm, and Hofn, the city that was our ultimate destination. On Sunday morning we retraced our path back, stopping at a glacial lagoon where we were momentarily blown under by a snowstorm, and then headed back to Reykjavik through Vik and past the waterfall Seljalandsfoss.
