Road to Þórsmörk

Road to Þórsmörk
Road (F)249 branches off from the ring road and runs between the river Markarfljót and the slopes of Eyjafjallajökull. There are numerous river and stream crossings and especially some of the glacial rivers are notoriously unpredictable. Most of the streams are constantly changing their course so no reliable fords can be marked. We saw several exhaust pipes and number plates which careless motorists had lost in crossings;-)

The mountain/ glacier in the background is Mýrdalsjökull with Katla volcano underneath.

Absolutely gorgeous light and cloud formations and great contrast between the background and the foreground. Definitely 4 x 4 territory! Beautifully composed and taken Gudrun.

Interesting links too..........thanks for sharing those. Following the F249 sounds exciting and a bit scary..!!

Thank you so much, Keith! F-roads are not for small cars but experienced Icelandic drivers know their business and 4x4 buses with high clearance usually don't run into trouble.

Herrliche Landschaft, von welcher Straße redest du hier ;-))
20 months ago.
Gudrun club has replied to uwschu club
Schönen Dank, Uwe! Die Straße ist hinter mir, sah aber teilweise auch nicht anders aus als das vor mir;-) Höhergelegte hochlandtaugliche 4x4 Busse schaffen das gut- im Gegensatz zu kleineren 4x4 PKWs.

I love the layers in your picture Gudrun. The cloudy sky is really well captured. I find your notes very interesting as are some of the vidoes in the link you left :-))

Gudrun club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thanks a lot, Rosa! That sky was quite something, and there was more blue as the day went on:-) Yes, the river crossings are not for small cars, that's for sure:-)

Eine Landschaft der Veränderungen, das macht sie so unberechenbar und auch wundervoll.
Herrliche Aufnahmen, Gudrun

Gudrun club has replied to Heide club
Herzlichen Dank, Heide! Daran merkt man, dass Island ein sehr junges Land ist! Ich bewundere immer, wie pragmatisch, respektvoll und gelassen die Isländer mit der unberechenbaren Natur umgehen. Das haben wir hier völlig verlernt....

Beeindruckend, Gudrun. Die Reise war bestimmt traumhaft schön.

Gudrun club has replied to Percy Schramm club
Danke vielmals, Percy! Allerdings, slebst bei teilweise schlechtem Wetter! Diese Pisten kann man eigentlich nur organisiert genießen, wenn man nicht mit großem 4x4 auf die Fähre will oder kann.
