Skjöldólfssta∂ir to Myvatn

Second official Cousin selfie of the trip
Today started with a climb up to about 600m where we stayed for much of the journey North West, the landscape changed many times once again. We started with Yorkshire, working through some early 1970's Bond film sets and onto a land that we are all brought up to think of as Iceland. On a ride of over 100km there were no houses, nothing man made other than the road we were on and power lines. The wind was delightfully cold making stopping uncomfortable. Just outside Myvatn we encountered our first close up bit of active volcanism in the form of Fumaroles  (not geysers as I tweeted) at Námajfall. So now we have done about 950km, we are taking a day or two off the bikes.
Boiling mud, or possibly Boba Fett being digested


On the set of Diamonds are Forever awaiting Mr Wynn and Mr Kidd
Fumaroles, not geysers..
