We woke up to a perfect weather… the sky was blue and there was no wind at all, making the reflections at the Lake Álftavatn look spectacular!

Today’s stage was flat but longer, and it included two deep river crossings. I think I will never get used to the cold of the rivers… the pain I feel in cold water is going straight to my brain and all I can do is to gasp in agony!

Once again, the landscapes surprised us, as we walked through huge volcanic valleys of black sand.

As Yannick and I were both reading the book “Dune”, we couldn’t help but thinking of the desert of Arrakis… the sand worm that was chasing us was of course a big group of people hiking the trail with a guide!

Shortly before arriving at the hut, we took a detour for visiting the canyon nearby…

… it was definitely worth it! The canyon was huge and epic, with many white birds flying through it.

At the hut, we set up our tent in an epic spot overlooking the glacier, we took a warm shower and relaxed once again… we couldn’t wait to continue our adventure in the book of Dune!
