Volcanic scenery, drive to Reykjavík (9)

About halfway through the long drive back to Reykjavík from Höfn the weather miraculously cleared up – sunshine and blue sky! -- although the wind never did let up. Once again I was fascinated by the amazing volcanic scenery passing me by, so this will be a series of images from that ride.

This was the town of Vik, where you have to be sure to fill up your tank because between Vik and Höfn, there is absolutely nothing, for hundreds of kilometers, except natural beauty.

Great shot. We stayed in Vik. The next day was nothing but rain and wind. I got tired putting on my rain gear and taking it off. I finally gave up. Sandy did hers. You have covered Iceland so well. V.
