Staðarfjall

Staðarfjall is one of the colourful rhyolithic mountains that are part of the Breiðuvik volcanic complex, seen here from the Fjarðará valley in Borgarfjörður eystri. In the note a farm making use of the Nissen huts left by the Allies after WWII.

Staðarfjall ist einer der bunten Rhyolitberge in Borgarfjörður eystri, die Teil des Breiðuvik-Vulkans sind. Aufgenommen vom Tal des Fjarðará. Im PiP ein Hof, der die den von den Allierten im 2. Weltkrieg zurückgelassenen Nissenhütten kreativ weiterverwendet hat.

...dass ich noch mal Nissenhütten life sehe hätte ich auch nicht gedacht. Hmburg war nach dem Krieg voll davon.

Grandiose Landschaft wie gewohnt!

Schönen Dank, Lutz! Im Osten Islands hat man sie recycelt;-) Reykjavik war auch voll davon, aber da sind sie lange schon weg.

Tolles Bild! Der Staðarfjall wäre sicher auch eine kleine Wanderung wert! :-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to polytropos ^club

Da ist auf der Karte auch ein Wanderweg eingezeichnet:-) Die Gegend ist gut erschlossen mit markiertem Wegen, die EInheimischen sind rührig, um den Bevölkerungsschwund zu stoppen.

I love the sky in the main picture. When my friend came here from Australia a couple of years ago, she booked a trip to Iceland....I can see the fascination. So different and so beautiful in it's own way.

5 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne ^club

Thanks a lot, Rosa! Skies in Iceland are ever changing, you can have sun before breakfast and rain one hour later...This is a relatively lush area, the active volcanic zone often looks harsh and forbidding.

Great color--the rhyolites sure add a contrast to the basalt! I'd presume they're secondary differentiates in the magma chamber.

5 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to slgwv ^club

Thank you, Steve! Yes, it must have been sitting round in the magma chamber for a while. This is the second largest area of rhyolite in iceland and one of the oldest, long extinct now.
