When you hike to Svörtuklettar, the trail markings disappear after just a few steps. We don’t let ourselves be swayed and ultimately find a way to the summit.

For the exertion we reward ourselves at the end with a jump into the hotspot at the starting point of the hike.

We hike in Gullborgarhellar on old, moss-covered lava fields in search of a cave mentioned in the travel guide.

We don’t find it, but there is another one in which we discover stalagmites made of ice.
