Road (F)249 branches off from the ring road and runs between the river Markarfljót and the slopes of Eyjafjallajökull. There are numerous river and stream crossings and especially some of the glacial rivers are notoriously unpredictable. Most of the streams are constantly changing their course so no reliable fords can be marked. We saw several exhaust pipes and number plates which careless motorists had lost in crossings;-)

The mountain/ glacier in the background is Mýrdalsjökull with Katla volcano underneath.
