   In June of this year, i made a trip to Iceland. It's my yearly "BIG" trip to walk somewhere cool and spend a handful of nights in a tent. This summer I walked the Hornstrandir Nature reserve / Hornstrandir peninsula (same thing). It's the northernmost tip of Iceland, and just JUST BARELY ALMOST grazes the Arctic Circle (or Polar circle, if you prefer)
   
   I'll cut this thread into several posts. There will be quite some time between the posts as I'll just be writing and posting them as i finish them. I'll write info into the Image Description of all images.
   
   General Trip info: June 22 to June 28 werethe days walked. I began the trip with 32kg of gear and food. Plus the clothing already on me. The trip was roughly 85km according to my garmin GPS. I walked for 7 days.
   
   To get to the starting boat, first had to fly to reykjavik, go from international airport to domestic airport, and then fly to isafjördur, with a plane landing most spectacular in a mountain valley with super strong winds, landing almost diagonally. Quite the experience. After landing, we walked out the airport, and a bird immediately shat on my hiking mate lmfao.
   
   The start was from Isafjördur village, from where a boat was booked to south-western Hornstrandir (Hesteyri) in the morning. From there, the trip would go a clockwise circle, ending in the valley of Veidileysuffjördur, a week later. I'll cut the posts into days from here on, with one post per one hike-day
