In the highlands, in snow and fog, yellow poles mark the road. This north central region is the most volcanically active in Iceland. Carol from Washington lights up an area of desolation. Ford from Washington, Pat from Sacramento, and Carol from Washington. Riders squint into evening sun after an hour on Icelandic horses at Lake Myvatn.
Stable, with the owner’s daughter-in-law and grandson. Madeleine from Seattle on her mount. Icelandic horses, American rider with penguin zipper-pull talisman. George from Istanbul after the ride. The stable owner and horse-trainer.
Lake Myvatn (Midge Lake) in northeast Iceland Lake Myvatn is unusually shallow. Its average depth is 2 m; the deepest point is only 4.5 m. The lake’s position squarely on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge explains these lava pillars. Lake Myvatn supports the world’s largest population of breeding ducks. Hair sedge (?)

Jean,
Thanks for the photo-tour. We've never been to Iceland so seeing your photos was a treat.
All is going well out here on the left coast. We just got back from the Pacific northwest and are heading out tomorrow on an RV caravan. We'll have two foreign students till Christmas and then we head to Death Valley for a week or two.
