Mountain Skriða seen from Högnhöfði
Some photos from a trip in August from Laugarvatn, through Rótarsandur around Högnhöfði and ending at Gullfoss and Geysir. Small circle in the foyer of the interior highlands. Pretty good gravel roads most of the way but the gully between Högnhöfði(Tomcat-headland) and Rauðafell (Red Rock) was very rough and steep.

Phototrips in January are always refreshing, rinsing of the stale state of Christmas and new years and taking in fresh air and fresh views at the beginning of a new year.

On the way up from Innstidalur
Hengill is a beautiful area east of Reykjavik, popular as a hiking destination. It´s famous for it´s vivid colours and geothermal activity. There are two power plants that harvest the energy from the Hengill area, one at Nesjavellir by Þingvallavatn National Park and one on Hellisheiði. Even though the area is very active, there has been no volcanic eruptions here in the last 2000 years.
The highest point is Vörðuskeggi aprx 800 meters high. The hike from the Hellisheiði power plant to Vörðuskeggi is relatively easy, around 12-14km long. From Vörðuskeggi there are great views in every direction, Þingvallavatn, Reykjavik, and Hveragerði can be seen and on a good day the south coast and the Atlantic ocean are visible.
