In Journey to the Center of the Earth, the protagonists Verne imagined going into the bowels of the earth for this place. Perhaps chosen because long thought to be the highest point of Iceland or the æ perhaps, that strange combination of voice that captivates us. Anyway, this place still keeps all its mystery and our time on he has left us one thing clear: this country is unparalleled.
Although Iceland is a national park full of extraordinary beauty, inexplicably only officially declared three national parks: Thingvellir, Vatnajökul and Snaefellsjokull. Three beautiful and clever names that are must see places on a trip to Iceland and of course that was in our plans enjoy.
So, when we wake up that morning in the north, we decided to resume our route west and discover the charms Snæfellsjökull National Park to find the center of the earth one day Jules Verne imagined for his novel. And our awakening near Akureyri could not be more impactacte as we camped in a great location, next to a stream and surrounded by mountains. Washing your face in the cool waters of a river, fresh air surrounded by mountains and have a cup of hot coffee are small things that make this country great.
We left from near Akureyri towards the west of the island, wishing he could go to the fjord region since it takes several days to explore this region of the island (the next time will be ...). It starts to rain weakly but the scenery is still beautiful and the road, as usual, seems only to us. Occasionally we met some tourists who are traveling the country by bike, which I admire because with this ever-changing climate must be quite hard cycling.But travel everyone enjoys them her way!.
