It's hard to imagine a greater natural beauty than Landmannalaugar. Its unspoiled rhyolite peaks, glacial rivers and geothermal hot streams provided a steady supply of breathtaking panoramas. Unusually colored volcanic rocks include blues, greens, yellows, tans, and blacks. Fierce winds threatened to push us from the narrow paths that clung stubbornly to the jagged ridgelines. Ferðafélag Íslands maintained a hut in the valley at Landmannalaugar, right next to a warm stream that could be used for swimming even when the weather turned nasty. "Hut" was a bit of a misnomer because the facility was actually quite nice.
