DISCOVERY

Day 59 / 50
on the way to the south east of the West Fjords I stopped at two hot pool, the first one about 40°c with a beautiful view of the bay and another one only about 37°c but protected by the cliff.
I thought I would just hike up the mountain by the campground to enjoy more sun, found a beautiful lonely tree, rested in a bed of moss and decided to follow the hiking path and found this beautiful quite flat lake at sunset 

To Hornvík

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 ..

To Hlöðuvík

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)

Back to Hesteyri

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 …
