Kerlingarfjoll Asgardur Maenir Around Asgardur

Kerlingarfjöll: Ásgardur - Mænir around - Ásgardur Hiking trail in Tungufell, Suðurland (Lýðveldið Ísland). Hike around Maenir to two geothermal areas (Hverabotn and Hveradalir) Start at Ásgardur hut and cross the bridge at campsite. Follow the footpath upp the ridge. After stepping down a small valley and ascending again you will find sticks to the right. follow them. They lead you around Maenir mountain into a nice valley called Hverabotn. At the upper part there is a great geothermal area. Steep, muddy ascent to the shoulder of Maenir and then down over snow fields and maybe glacier to Hveradalir geothermal area. Hold to the right when its getting steeper. On the right hand side there is a good track on the rocks where you can descend. We "drifted" to deep and had to cross the steep snow field. It may be better to go ahead at KM 10,3. It is less steep and You will find the marking sticks at the end of the snow. The path is close to the last waypoint in my track. From Hveradalir back to Ásgardur on the jeep track in 90 min.

Iceland Trek Day 07 2016 08 19 From North To South

Iceland Trek - Day 07 - (2016-08-19) - From North To South Hiking trail in Skaftafell, Austurland (Lýðveldið Ísland). It's part of a 20 days hike. Beware it's not the normal north south Iceland Hike. It's mostly offtrail, there are one extremly difficult river to cross and 20km on a glacier. There are a few dangers, I put tag on the track, but I'm not sure it's 100% acurate, because I made it from memory. I also put tag for water, but in case of water from snow it doesn't mean it will work for you too. In any case I'am not responsable if anything happen to anyone who follow this track. If you have question don't hesitate. Link of the video of the Hike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fIwiThG_qM&t=16s
