Day 5

An early rise today as I trek across the predominantly flat area along the northwest region of the mightly Myrdalsjokull glacier towards Hattafell. I then will wade the icy stream that skirts the camp and after a few small climbs and descents through meandering gullies, I head out onto a sterile dusty volcanic plain.

I will then locate the road for a short distance before cutting off and heading between the small peaks of Utigonguhofdar. The final part of the day sees us skirting beautifully coloured volcanoes before dropping int our campsite at Botnar (500m)
