Thanks for the vote. It definitely is full of volcanoes but yeah, the desert was unexpected for me as well. Definitely a "high desert" like here in Oregon though and not like Arizona's.
The first thing I thought was "how the heck to you pronounce that?" And you had the answer in the first sentence! Strange looking rock. I still can't pronounce it, but that's my problem. Nice page.
Ha ha. Thanks. Yeah, I had to ask my guide on Hvannadalshnukur how to pronounce this one. He laughed when I said something that sounded like "Hair-doo-bride".
Where do you find these funky letters on the keyboard? Did you buy an icelandish one? It's a very nice page - but somehow my weather prejudices only seem to deepen. And now there are sandstorms, too!
