We&#8217;ll take pictures of the strange, flat-topped Hattafell Volcano (Hat Peak). After this, the team walked through the black glacial desert into the lush and green Emstrur area. Just before the hut the team took a slight detour to have a look at the 650ft. deep Markarfljotsfljufur Canyon. Once at the Botnar hut the team settled in, dried off and prepared Salmon for dinner.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-22801 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Hattafell-Volcano-Craig-John.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[22801]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Hattafell-Volcano-Craig-John-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-22802\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Hattafell-Volcano-Craig-John-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Hattafell-Volcano-Craig-John-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Hattafell-Volcano-Craig-John-70x70.jpg 70w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Hattafell-Volcano-Craig-John-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-22802'>\n\t\t\t\tHattafell Volcano (Craig John)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iceland-Team-crossing-the-stream-Craig-John.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[22801]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iceland-Team-crossing-the-stream-Craig-John-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-22805\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iceland-Team-crossing-the-stream-Craig-John-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iceland-Team-crossing-the-stream-Craig-John-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iceland-Team-crossing-the-stream-Craig-John-70x70.jpg 70w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iceland-Team-crossing-the-stream-Craig-John-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-22805'>\n\t\t\t\tIceland Team crossing the stream (Craig John)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Markarfljotsfljufur-Canyon-Craig-John.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[22801]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Markarfljotsfljufur-Canyon-Craig-John-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-22804\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Markarfljotsfljufur-Canyon-Craig-John-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Markarfljotsfljufur-Canyon-Craig-John-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Markarfljotsfljufur-Canyon-Craig-John-70x70.jpg 70w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Markarfljotsfljufur-Canyon-Craig-John-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-22804'>\n\t\t\t\tMarkarfljotsfljufur Canyon (Craig John)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Another great day on the trail in Iceland!<\/p>\n<p>Greg Vernovage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 22, 2019 If the coffee doesn&#8217;t wake you up the stream crossing to start the day will.
