Iceland Trek Up Valleys, Across Ridge Lines and Steam Vents

July 18, 2019

CJ and the team trekked up the Green Valley (Grænagil) to some small steam vents today. Then across a broad valley and climbed up to the top of the Suðurnámur Ridge. We walked the length of the ridge and then descended back to the valley that leads back to the hut. We could see Landmannalaugar Range in the background most of the day. Suðurnámur is mountain rich in Rhyolite.

From the top of the mountain, the team enjoyed big views of the Landmannalaugar area: Mt. Kirkjufell, Laugahraun lava flow, Blahnukur Volcano among other great views.

Weather is nice in Iceland!
