Highland desert

River Kreppá in the Icelandic highlands, a desert of lava and pumice created by various volcanic eruptions, most notably from Askja. www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is/en/areas/odadahraun/interpretation-and-knowledge/about-askja
Road F910 (4x4 only) crosses the river on one of the very few bridges in the area. Note how high the bridge is, fording would often be impossible.

I'm off to Iceland again, see you in August!

Hi Gudrun
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting composition of sky, rocks, and water.
I remember those Icelandic 'roads' well.. Always drive through the widest part of the river...!
Best Wishes, a nice week, and stay cool!!

You would certainly need an experienced guide to ford that river crossing. It looks so exciting. I hope you enjoy your trip, Gudrun. I'm sure you will.
