We were supposed to have a tour on this day that was going to take us up on a glacier in a big wheeler truck to a cave formation in the glacier. Unfortunately weather on the mountain prevented us from doing that. So instead we just found a gravel road going up to a mountain and went exploring on our own.
Always interesting how a bush can take root in a large set of volcano rocks.
The colors of fall.
Glacier rivers everywhere you go.
Even gravel roads they keep in really good shape.
African Icelandic sheep.
And the Anglican counter parts.
Scaring the birds along the way.
Then in the afternoon since we couldn't do a glacier cave we decided to do a lava cave.
And then it was down in the cave.
You can see the multiple volcano lava flows that went into making this cave.
Heading out of the cave. The cave itself is 1.6 km long but the tour covers the first .6 km.
Coming out of the cave it cleared up enough to where we could see the elusive mountain and it's glaciers that evidently didn't want to see us. 😎
Still having a few hours to spend we decided to drive up that mean ol' mountain. You can tell it hosts a mighty big glacier based on the river size.
Snow field lower on down the mountain. You can tell it was starting to cloud up again.
One full day left. Things are quickly wrapping up.
