It is possible that the young woman, Birna Brjánsdóttir, who disappeared in the early hours of Saturday morning had stopped to chat to tourists on her way up Laugavegur. Both the Reykjavik Metropolitan Police and her next of kin are pleading for help and any clues to her whereabouts.

As you know, solar eclipse was the 20th march.... We decided to go little closer to the sun to get a better look ... of corse using the right equipment. We did not manage to get good photos, but they were over all in the media anyway, instead we enjoyed the walking, the talking and seeing the eclipse :) little late for these photos from Úlfarsfell, but never too late :)

Iceland might not be the first place that springs to mind when you’re planning a weekend away. The obvious cities like Paris, Berlin or Budapest would...

It is sometimes said that silence is golden ... but we have been silent for too long. There has been many hikings and ... well ... few biking tours.... and too few photos posted here... but we will try to get better next year. Today, the sunrise was amazing and we went for a short hike to Helgafell Hafnafjörður. The wind was even quiet - meaning that there was no wind, and that is not very often here on this island in the northern part of the world. Hope you have had nice holiday :)

The Alta controversy refers to a political controversy in Norway in the late 1970s and early 1980s concerning the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in the Alta river in Finnmark, Northern Norway. We went there on a beautiful Sunday ... the road is closed 7 km from the dam, so we enjoyed walking in fantastic nature up to the dam and then back. We are not going to have any opinion on the project here, but it is certainly beautiful up there.

Those photos are taken at the so called Fjallabak in Iceland. The nature there is uniqe, the colours unbelivable, and you cannot avoid being humble and thankful for being able to get there and experience this piece of art... well it is good for us human beings to feel humble now and then - for those who have not tried it we reccommend you do :) After a day in an enviornment like this ... it leaves your heart full of joy and appreciation.... very good feeling :)

We have been silent for a while but we are still ok and still hiking and biking, not just in Iceland but also in Norway. This time we went to the top top of Haldde (904 m above sea level) which is the highest mountaintop in the Altafjord. Research on the Northern Lights and weather observations were conducted here 1899-1926. Amazing hike with amazing view :)

A powerful volcano, Bárðarbunga, might erupt in the Highlands of Iceland. The Icelandic Met Office has upgraded its alert status to orange, meaning that a "volcano shows heightened or escalating unrest with increased potential of eruption." The orange alert is the second highest alert status.

Yes Norway is also nice ... in North Norway there are bright nights, beautiful nature and not so many people. We like it ... even though we also love people :)
