The unstable rhyolite screes of Mælifell mountain are traversed by the ring road.
In former times this passage was feared for its frequent landslides and slippery surfaces but now the road has been considerably improved.
The coastline with its small sandy coves and black lava beaches displays the plumbing of an ancient, long extinct volcano laid open by water erosion.

Three wonderful PiPs giving us superb details of some of the individual lava formations, some of which almost seem man-made (and look like rusty beams). Absolutely fascinating stuff.

Ich hoffe, dass ich eines Tages noch seine Dias von anno dazumal finde. (Dazu brauch ich aber viiiiiel Zeit, die ich aktuell nicht habe. Ich hoffe einfach, dass diese Aufnahmen im Laufe der Zeit nicht 'entsorgt' wurden.)
