Eventually, the second bunch of people (Carlos, Martina and Kerstin) has arrived in Keflavík and the group made their way up to Dreki in the Highlands. And, yes, of course we took the chance to visit Fagradalshraun on our way to Akureyri. It still shows some eruptive respective emissive activity – even from safe distance quite impressive!
Via Akureyri and a visit at Möðrudalur seeing Villi and Elli (and our equipment which is kindly stored on their premise), we drove up to Drekagil, which shall be our base camp until mid-September. We were warmly welcomed by the camp site wardens and the national park rangers and we are looking forward to our stay here in Dreki – our hub to the dust sources located in the Dyngjusandur area.
