Iceland Day 9 - Craters and Volcanos



Day 9, Monday, July 16

A lot of driving today, high above the Arctic Ocean, down beside the ocean, through lava fields, mountain passes, past volcanoes, and glaciers, through  lovely valleys, fishing villages and past farms with large plastic bags of hay in the fields. There were a few short stops to stretch and get our bearings, and one long stop to view craters.


 The crater stop involved a long hike to the rim of the craters aided by a series of wooden steps but was treacherous on the lava path sections. 


For a change, it became a warm sunny day and we had to strip to the bottom layer of clothing. It was warm enough to eat at an outdoor table.
