Exploring in Iceland

July 24, 2019

Looking down on the Lava Field (Craig John)

A little rain did not stop the IMG team from doing some exploring yesterday afternoon. The team made their way to the Thorsmork area where they visited the Songhelir Cave, the Stakkholtsgja Canyon and climbed Valahnukur. That was yesterday afternoon before dinner!

Today, IMG Senior Guide Craig John checked in to let us know that they may not have coverage good enough to get photos out and that they are heading to the last hut of the trek. During the trek, CJ managed to sneak out a few photos from another great day of trekking. The team set out early today, starting their trek by hiking up to the Fimmvörðuhál pass between the Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull glaciers. As they trekked, they stopped at a new crater and lava field formed in 2010. From the new formations, they trekked through a high pass between the two big glaciers.
