The flow of large ice from the lake to the sea takes place depending on the tides. Indeed, at high tide, all the ice cubes are stuck in the lake, and the difference between freshwater (glacial melt) we perceive very well and seawater This creates a kind of "barage" and ice can not get out! By cons, once the tide begins to fall, there comes a time when the lake water is a little fuller, the forces are reversed, and all ice near the mouth escape! This phenomenon is visible with the pano-morphing below: assembly of several panoramas, taken at the same location at different times....

We find the drop Gullfoss as the first day. This is one of the busiest places in Iceland. Geysir and Thingvellir with , they are called the Golden Triangle . Many visitors who have little time to visit the golden triangle in the day from Reykjavik. These places are quite equipped compared to the rest of Iceland. It contains an explanatory path, a shop and a restaurant (where we will warm soup !) . Nevertheless, this fall is really beautiful, it is the width that impresses me the most. As we move into the bus, we are dependent on bus schedules ... and remain a good time there! We are quite happy with what means of transport : no problem puncture or ford to pass as with a rental car ! But it takes a bit of organization ( in some places, the bus passes only once a day or once every two days in some more remote places ! Consult small guide with schedules ... ) and must agree to be dependent and lose a little time ....

At no time, we walk on the glaciers but we can observe our right and to our left. The Eyjafjallajökull glacier east to west, it is a small glacier but it is the home of the famous volcano that erupted in spring 2010 and has messed up the world's air traffic for a week. Following the eruption, we've told us that the landscape had changed and we were curious to see the new face of this part of the trek!...

As we first arrived, we stallions our rain capes and rain pants to dry and progressively other campers arrive, we store our equipment. We learn from the guard, the weather will not be better tomorrow, and even worse later ... We decided to stay one more day to enjoy the beauty of the place hoping that the weather improves ......

This day walk connects to Botnar Thorsmork. Thorsmork is a busy valley where a bus runs every day. We could stop our trek if the weather deteriorated. The step Botnar to Thorsmork is technically more difficult because it has a passage with chains. Beware if you are behind a group because you have to wait and take your troubles patiently! Passage with strings is one to one ... but is quite doable if you do not have vertigo! We then cross a bridge rare trek and we quickly understand the purpose: it passes through a deep gorge impassable (at this point) without using the bridge....

I forgot to tell you about the Landmannalaugar trek in general ... This is THE trek to Iceland, we note also that it is much busier in 2012 than in 2009 ... But we find attendance correct trek and at no time are bothered by "tourists" too many. He is known to be the most beautiful trek in Iceland and among one of the most beautiful in the world ... Our experience of all treks in the world is limited ... I do not say that the title one of the most beautiful treks in the world is justified, but I found this wonderful trek ... What we liked is the diversity of landscapes. Indeed, every day brings a new vision of Iceland, every day offers completely different from what preceded colors and reliefs! (day1: lava field - day 2: fumaroles - Day 3: lake, mountain and desert - Day 4: Gorge Vale - Day 5 Optional: glacier)...

CThe second part of the path is composed of a long descent after which the lake and the campground is located . This is quite confusing because you see the lake from the beginning and that it seems not many come close ! Especially when it comes to face any flat last line and you have to cross a ford (the first trek) in the middle of it ! Skip fords , it's tiring , cold and it takes time! You have to sit , lay the bag , look for sandals. Remove shoes , store them in the bag , put the sandals. Replace the bag , take your courage in both hands, cross the ford ! Place the bag, take the shoes and towel , remove the sandals, dry feet, put socks and shoes and put away the towel and sandals . In general, at this stage , I am a cereal bar or some nuts and start again ! Walking , feet warm quickly and instantly forget the cold water of the river! The landscapes are preserved to the point that bridge reminds us of the intervention of mankind on nature....

We leave for Lake Alftavan. Today is the birthday of Matthieu and I find difficult start. At first, the path is tiring because composed of small descents and short climbs as if every 10 m, a low of 2 m was excavated by a water court! Fumaroles walk the path and I imagine to be a elf browsing a path whose imperfections have been accentuated by my small ......

We arrived relatively early refuge and decide to leave for a trip to the ice cave collapsed in Sodull. The road is snowy, fortunately Matthieu is a good climber and I trust him because I do not advise inexperienced and poorly equipped people! What amazes me the most during this trip is the beauty and vastness of the landscape beyond "beaten path". It's amazing to get to see even more beautiful scenery trek out on the trek!...

Back at the campsite, the only desire Flo is going to bathe in the hot spring! It motivates me because it is not easy to walk 200m in suit under this temperature and I rush! It is happiness! The closer you get to the source, the more water is hot. So much so that most people stop at the same place as if later, the water was too hot for it to be enjoyable! She is full of warmth, this place is conducive to relaxation and well-being. This is cool!...

It is with great joy and excitement that we take the bus from Reykjavik to Landmannalaugar. I admire the landscape and I try not to miss a beat of the show that nature offers me. The closer we get, the more I recognize this undulating treeless landscape that looks like a desert of sand dunes which would have added all the colors of the rainbow sky ocher volcanic land of green moss that grows there. To our delight, these colors are enhanced by the blue sky. We arrived around 12pm, plant our tent, lunch and decided to go for a little hike with mild to half-day bag....
