Being COVID-tested at the air port at the end is not much fun, and waiting for the results neither. However, at the end we get our certificate of freedom and can go for a quick dinner. The next day we can resole the moose with its summer shoes and start for station Mýrar. Here we can pickup the first samples, see what damage the salty air has done to the stainless steel and equip the filter sampler with a display.
After a windy night in the tent, we return to Reykjavík the next day to arrange the trip to the north. We pickup additional optical particle counters from the Agricultural University of Iceland together with Brian, who will be installing one besides our new station at Grímsstaðir. On the long ride to the place, we have the opportunity to visit the Grábrók Crater and Goðafoss, before we reach our destination with nice views of Herðubreið on the horizon.
