Where is the road? What "road"?

Better go with day light. And make sure you have a good map. OSMAnd did a great job for me - Google Maps was a complete failure.

The way to Þórsmörk
October 12, 2025 in Iceland ⋅ 🌫 9 °C
As so often explorations of caves and haunted canyons took longer than planned. As a result on my way to Þórsmörk it got dark. And I had no idea how broken the road would really be. It was wild...

Básar of Þórsmörk in Goðaland
October 13, 2025 in Iceland ⋅ 🌫 8 °C
Básar is the base camp of Þórsmörk (the border mark of the god Thor) in Goðaland (the Land of Gods). Sounds like a mouth full - and it is. Just getting there can be an adventure but the hike across the mountain is a thing of its own. Apparently there is a special micro climate that makes walking a bit nasty at times.

But worth it all the way. 😃

FindPenguins is not so fond of video clips so I'll make another little Youtube movie. But this has to wait until I'm on the ferry...Read more

Perspective

Sometimes big things are so irrelevant and small things look so gigantic.

Shift perspectives.

Ice, ice, baby.

Played around with 60.000 year old ice (rough estimate). How (c)ool(d) 🥶is that? 😎

Yes, too many brackets, needs some time to decode. 🤭

FindPenguins asks me: what have you done?

Sorry, nothing. Just been there.

Back on the ferry in Seyðisfjörður
October 16, 2025 in Iceland ⋅ 🌙 5 °C
Everything has an end, only the sausage has two (a literal translation of a proverb in Germany.. ;-). So yes, today is the end of my travel in Iceland. But I'm not sad but full of great impressions and the calmness and wildness at the same time will stay with me for a long time. Great experience throughout! Thank you Iceland and my wife for letting me go and my company for tolerating my spotty internet during work times and everybody else who helped me get the rig off the ground and working. Especially Martin from Hoffmann Kfz in Solla-Loh who professionally lifted the rear with 17 mm rings, installed new shocks, changed all fluids and did quite a lot of other things. The Bichler family for helping paint the car and tolerating my occupying their garage for several weekends. Armin for helping me get the auxiliary heating and underride protection installed. My brother for helping and hosting my tools during my trip and everybody else who supported me and made my dream come true!

Thank you so much!Read more

Technically not on mainland Iceland but probably still within the nautical borders we got a really nice show. How cool is that? This was a first for me (and I seen lotsa things). Started almost imperceptible and then grew into a full blast. So thankful, yet again. 😃Read more
