We have left the glacier and are now in the village of Egilsstadir. The three of us started our day at 06.00. It has been colder than yesterday, when it was almost zero and rather sticky snow. Today has been nice and cool and partly cloudy; the sun has come and gone. We have been enjoying a beautiful light, especially on features near the horizon. It feels great to have such a nice ending to this great trip. All is well. An hour after we came down at Ayjabakkajökull at noon, we were picked by car as agree. Haraldur took care of those logistics. The drive to Egilsstadir took almost four hours, and that’s where we are now. It has been quite an experience to ski across Europe’s largest glacier! The only way to drive Icelandic “roads” is with powerful vehicles equipped with oversized winter tyres. Erling fixes the pulk – while Haraldur relaxes in the tent.
