August 4th 2018 - Vast lava fields

The afternoon was devoted to lava fields, we stopped at the village of Vik before crossing the Myrdalssandur volcanic washout plains. We ended the day passing through the vast Eldhraun lava field, the world's largest recorded lava field in the past thousand years. These are vast and desolate places but the essence of Iceland with its 130 volcanoes.
