My Travels - Iceland 1998 - 10.day

23.August 1998

At morning it looked on standard weather at first. Later clouds disappeared, and weather improved. We left our tents in camping and went by bus on trek. Bus rode us on the foot of volcano Krafla. Here we met together with the second group. Krafla is volcano that erupted last time in 1984. In near neighbourhood are still wide lava fields from this eruption. Under volcano is crater Viti with lake inside it. After hour we reached top of this crater volcano in 827 m height. There, Palo withdraw bottle of champagne from back-pack, as hilltop bonus. On place, where 10 years ago erupted volcano, now erupted the cork from champagne. We shared the bottle among 20 people. Then we made some group photo and created together message into the top-hill visitors book.

After the descent we continued through the lava fields back to our camp. It was difficult trek, because sharp lava crushed our boots. There were also some places where lava was still hot. We returned back to camp at evening. There we visited our well known tea-sop, and there we bought big portion of ice-cream. After shower we went to sleep.
