Eiði is perfectly working – a bit rusty meanwhile, even the stainless steel, but that was to be expected. Therefore, we leave it happily running and travel again with the Norröna to Iceland, which welcomes us with phantastic weather and summer temperatures.
The customs intermezzo is a short one, so we can head for our next goal already in the morning: Grímsstaðir. The system here had some problems in the past with connectivity. While we find the station itself working, the internet connection is weak. A replacement of the components doesn’t help, so we conclude that the provider apparently changed the coverage – clearly outside our control.
We use the opportunity of being here early for delivering a part of our equipment to Möðrudalur. From here, it will travel together with the materials from our colleagues in Spain by highland truck and trailer to Dreki, our base camp. Elisabet and Vilhjalmur from Möðrudalur will take care of that, and also provide additional ressources to our campaign.
