We hiked to the top of the Hverfjall crater, a classic tephra cone a kilometer in diameter. The pity is you're no longer allowed to hike into the crater, as others have left their mark in the ground by drawing huge graffiti in the soil, spoiling it for the rest of us. The hike up the crater was gradual, through packed snow covered in a thin crispy coating of ice in places.
The drive to Hverfjall was as much fun (for me, at least, as I was driving) as the hike up the crater was. The track was single lane, unpaved, and covered in snow, slush and freestanding water. At one point we almost got stuck in the snow until I just powered on through. What this hike (and others on this trip) proved tho, is that I need a wider angle lens than the 18mm (equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm camera) I currently have.
