Askja Crater

The Askja caldera is one of the most amazing places I have visited. Getting there is not easy. You take the turnoff from Highway 1, and you will see asign appears next to the gas station at 280 km. The track is in bad condition, and it is 110 km of this road to get to Askja. An SUV is mandatory, because you must wade rivers. Bu it is worth the car. Once we arrived at the parking we had to walk 2,5 km on a desert landscape, which seems to go back to the days of black and white on TV, are the only colors around the way. The white snow and black ash. But at the boiler you have to rub your eyes, your senses seem to be fooled.
