First of all, I wish everyone a great end to 2024 and an even better start of 2025!

This is a photo from my favorite 2024 hike - and it is of course Iceland, Landmannalaugar to be precise.

A place where the colors of the Rhyolite mountains are just insanely beautiful. Also one of those places where you'd likely ask yourself if this is a real place on earth - luckily it is.

For someone who almost exclusively hikes solo, being alone in such places is almost like a mystical experience. The silence and that view were worth the trip to Iceland by themselves.

Getting to this particular viewpoint requires wading the very cold Jokulgilskvisl River and, generally speaking, it's a tough hike. But it's well worth the effort.

I also made a video of this hike - for those interested it's the latest one on my YouTube channel.
