Camping on a Glacier (Vatnajökull)

and it was cold, very, very cold. This is the 2nd largest glacier in the world, at least that is what Davið says. It was crazy cold to camp next too.

It was a four hour drive away, and we drove through some very nice weather.

After the first night of freezing we decide to spend the second night at a camp site near some hot springs. It sounded great.

We spent all afternoon looking for the place. We followed a gravel road that was marked on the map until the road stopped for a river. On the other side of the river the road continued. So we turned around.

You would think they would have put up a sign warning people about this.

After a few more hours of driving, through the rain, we gave up and got a hotel room in Vík, a town in southern Iceland.
