The northern lights.
These Huldufolk (Iceland's hidden people) must have decided to come out of hiding the day we toured Akurey. Some polls suggest that upwards of fifty percent of Icelanders believe in Huldufolk, otherwise known as elves and/or trolls. Four Icelandic holidays are devoted to celebrating Huldufolk. Their presence is plentiful in Icelandic sagas, particularly given the rugged and rocky nature of this beautiful island. Check out my run-in with Iceland's elves at my blog via this link: http://www.aplacecalledroam.com/home/an-icelandic-saga-elves-trolls-trouble

Great property. Our group lives in the city, so to stay in the middle of a horse farm and watch the sunset in complete silence is something we rarely get to experience. The service was accommodating.

Rangárþing eystra

Frostastaðavatn is a lake in the Highlands of Iceland, not far from the famous mountains of Landmannalaugar and the volcano Hekla. Frostastaðavatn is Icelandic for "lake of the frosty place". No frost there in early September, but I can only imagine what it looks like in Winter! Anyone going to Landmannalaugar should definitely make a stop here. The views here and near this location are stunning and otherworldly!
