Sunset at the eerily still Lake Kleifarvatn
After a snowy hike, Ion has lots of space for relaxing and regathering your strength

slippery with wet snow from
the storm, so we decide to take
the safer southern road back to
Reykjavík. After coasting care-
fully around the iced-over lake of
Úlfljótsvatn, we cruise through
Selfoss towards the south coast,
skirting past small villages and
icy black beaches, turning to-
wards Reykjavík via the Krýsuvík
route.
The sunset begins just as we
reach a dramatic viewpoint over-
looking the eerily still lake of
Kleifarvatn. We linger a while
wandering around the zig-zag-
ging walkway at the Seltún geo-
thermal hot spot, taking in the
otherworldly scenery and feeling
fully replenished by this dreamy
countryside getaway.
