Iceless in Iceland

This was a trip of firsts for me, in more ways than one...


stuck in Boston on the way out, a blessing in disguise


that's where we're heading, way up there to the arctic, should be cold right?


this was the extent of ice we found and the only pitch we did over the next 5 days. so basically, Iceland suffers from erratic ocean currents which can warm up the climate on a weekly basis, which happened to us. it got warm and all the ice fell down which meant no climbing. for the first time on any trip, i got completely skunked.


so we did some sightseeing


and lots of drinking


and more sightseeing...


the stormy northern atlantic ocean


the melting Vatnajökull glacier


the blue lagoon


Hvannadalshnukur 6,952' - icelands highest peak


nice frosted tips!


a bathroom bivy - another first!
