What an outstanding experience! Absolutely stunning is your account of the Þakgil campsite. The picture you create—the mossy hills, the plain valley, the odd sensation of loneliness, even the candlelit cave kitchen—is very clear and enthralling. I almost sense the wonder of the site.
The juxtaposition of the beautiful beauty with the threatening presence of Katla volcano and the possibility of a jökulhlaup lends the trip an exciting twist. It highlights the trip even more. The photographs are wonderful too; they exactly capture the spirit of the area. Particularly appealing is the photo of the point of view over the Mýrdalssandur plain. That is a perspective I would like to see myself.
I&'m quite pleased you brought up the Katla Geopark. It sounds like a fantastic region to discover, and definitely it would be on my travel bucket list. The arduous journey to the campsite also appeals to me—it seems like an actual adventure in and of itself!
Your tale has motivated me to look for more isolated and special camping spots around. Thanks for your wonderful account! I am eagerly looking forward to your next journey report—we hope you can tour that next summer!
