Follow my wife and me on a 3-week trip of Iceland.

Day 13 in Iceland: From Flúðir to Landmannalaugar (168km)

Before going to Landmannalaugar, we did some shopping in Flúðir and as we went on our way I wanted to fill up diesel at Árnes. The latter was not possible, Árnes, was out of diesel. The fuel station had not taken the effort of putting a note at the gas pump, so everybody was trying to fill up and they were desperately waiting for the pump to start.

We had to drive back to Flúðir to fill up. Finally we got on our way to Landmannalaugar, and our first river crossing.Day 13 of 3 week Iceland trip. River crossing in Iceland's highlands.

It was exciting to drive into a real river. We had first watched other cars crossing. After a while we came to a crossing were there were no other cars crossing, I got my boots out and waded through the river to check its depth and check for big rocks. After several crossings we came to the test near Landmannalaugar, the river was wider and deeper.

Many cars were parked just before the river and campsite. We continued to the camping and the crossing was exciting and we really enjoyed it.

À propos de l‘auteur

During summer 2016 and 2019 I visited Iceland with my wife Ditta. We traveled in our own 4x4 Toyota Hilux with camper unit. Filming above and under water is my passion, sea-life while diving, nature, travel, 4x4 driving with our Toyota Hilux with camper unit. Iceland made a very big impression and we are planning to spend more time on Iceland.In 2019 we guided a group of 8 Iceland prepared 4wd throu the Highlands tacking Froads and unmarked tracks. In 2016 I stared aerial filming with a drone, I filmed the beautiful region around my home in Holland. I started to make video clips in 2013. During time I have improved my filming and editing. I film a variety of issues underwater, on land and from the air. I try to use creative common music as much as possible.
