We headed into the Iceland Highlands on an extremely bumpy gravel road (for 3+ hours!) to get to Landmannalaugur, which is a camp from which you can do many day- and multi-day hikes in Iceland.
Our rented vehicle had to "ford" through many such shallow streams on the way!
(here is Kelvin gauging whether we'd make it across [the first one]. There were many more!)
The scenery was gorgeous! The hills, with volcanic minerals, appear "painted."
Sheep resting
The area is known for thermal activity and natural hot springs (here I am testing out the hot water).

Eddie's jumping picture was the best!
Atop Mt. Brennisteinsalda (2805 ft, 855 m), one of the most colorful volcanoes in Iceland.
We found snow!
(and some mountain sheep)
Smelly sulfur steam
Landmannalaugur was a difficult-to-get-to place, and a pretty rigorous hike, but well worth it!
