great view from Sandfell 🙂 
again great sunny weather with almost no wind, and good aurora forecast
great sunset and the begin of many nights to come with beautiful Northern Lights 🙂 

Day 55 / 46
enjoyed the sun and warm weather in Isafjördur and visited Suðureyri

Day 54 / 45 / 6
waited in good company in the shelter of the wall of the closed for the season Information hut to avoid rain and strong wind in still wet boots. The boat was a few hours delayed due to high waves out of the bay, quite a bumpy ride back to safe haven in civilization in Isafjördur 🙂

Day 53 / 44 / 5
Weatherforecast does not look good, had to go where the dark clouds came from, started early in the morning, after porridge and packing my stiff, had to cross a not deep river, headed to the mountain pass …
where a arctic fox guided me back to the right path to avoid the Wetlands I headed up this mountain and it started to rain …
a very short break after the first part and a look back to the lovely <3 bay, hike up was quite steep but on a very good trail up in the rain, from the top of the pass the rain was now heavy with strong upwind and fog …
after about 4 hours hike I was quite soaked from the constant rain and upwind, after a short rope climb up and down this rock, I reached the campground and skipped the hike to the Horn due to wet boots and cold weather, build up my tent and stayed in there most of the time of the next 24 hours ..

Day 52 / 43 / 4
The day started sunny, made hot porridge again in the morning and hiked a great hiking path up to the mountain pass where the fog was coming from (to the right in the picture) ..
enjoyed a little more the sun and took a look back and changed from Tshirt ..
to Fleece and Jacket and walked into the fog
to the bay and there was a fox right next to me (that one in the picture), the fox and I took a break and we looked at each other for a while 🙂 I had the most arctic fox sights on the whole trip in this bay (about 6 in the evening and another 4 the next morning, before, at and after the campground)

Day 51 / 42 / 3
The day started wet through the fog first on sand ..
through wet grass, then through this small river up a mountain..
to blue sky again on a great hiking path 🙂
and arrived in Hesteyri, put up my tent and found this Old Doctors house which is now a coffee house, and had a coffee and creps 🙂
walked to the abandoned Waling Station, saw five seals and one marten on the way …
went back to the campground and my tent, made pasta again and …
… a cute curious arctic fox showed up 🙂

Day 50 / 41 / 2
I decided to do a day hike up to an old US Radarstation Ghostdown without backback, ate a hearty breakfast, rested in the sun, drank one liter water in advance and took one waterbottle and a Fleece and a Jacket with me for the 5 hour hike. The whole day was super sunny, and the way up without wind super warm.
and enjoyed a great view up the mountain 🙂 ✌
very nice to walk through the ruins of this Ghostdown, not much Equipment left, and to see ..
the destruction through time
a brown fox came quite close after my dinner at the campground, you can see the small brown fox in the back when he ran of again 🙂

Day 49 / 40 / 1
perfect summer weather on the first day, arrived in Hesteyri on Monday 2pm ..
The first part of the path to Sæbol was wrong in the map and gps, Wetlands always made it in impossible to go by the mountain side, so we turned (the first few km I went with a nice french guy I met) twice and walked on the shore, which was also the real path, where at a special point it headed up the mountain, after the first river crossing only about 20cm deep, hiked up the mountain and lost the path again, but found it again and had not to walk through the Wetlands again, which would probably cost a lot of time, at that point I hiked alone met one couple and after that nobody for that day..
I decided to head to Látrar instead of Sæbol, it was already high tide though, like it would also be in the morning, but like the guide said, „no problem, you can go by high tide, there is rope and a ladder“, what he did not tell it was a metal chain down the cliff 90-70 degree, the first part was quite ok, the second part was quite hard, with the 20kg backpack it was hell down and it took quite long and a lot of strengh after about a almost 13 km hike and I was glad that I survived, from here on it was a lot of rock climbing and I hoped the rest would be passable with high tide …
and was rewarded with a beautiful beach and my first arctic fox sight on Hornstrandir ..
and an amazing sunset after about 19km hike 🙂 ✌

Day 48 / 39
