Thrihnukagigur is a dormant volcano where all the lava receded deeper into the earth before it cooled. As a result, all the beautiful minerals are still visible, and the inside of the volcano is glorious.
But before we got to descend into the most beautiful stones you will ever see, we had to first drive out to the site, and then hike out to the base camp. On the drive, we passed places that our bus driver said elves lived in:
Can you kind of see, especially in this picture, how the ground looks like it's covered in tiny little Hobbit-holes? Elves are supposed to live underneath them.
By the way - volcanoes, whale-watching, hiking... can you kind of see how my adventures in Iceland are a little different than the rest of Europe?
