Iceland: the great crossing \u2013 Kjolur 2nd part<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a07th<\/sup> AUGUST – Thursday <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today we will follow the course of the Svarta River with its spectacular glaciers\u2019 view. Afterwards we will face up the long and rough lava field of Kjalhraun, reaching then the Gislaskali hut lied in one of the most beautiful places on the legendary Kjolur trail.<\/p>\n

We always get up early, and make a hearty breakfast. That morning, after the breakfast, Joanina explain us the path and provides us some warnings.<\/p>\n

Most of the day will consist of crossing the vast lava field, a difficult land for the horses, so they will depart with the herd before, without stopping, and arrive at the next hut. There are no places to exchange horses. We will ride all day the same horse assigned at the departure.<\/p>\n

The weather is not beautiful, perhaps it will rain, very windy and I would say “cold” …<\/p>\n

After the hot and abundant breakfast, we prepare ourselves physically and psychologically …<\/p>\n

The slogan repeated before departure is:<\/p>\n

“Trust your Horse!<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Well, horses assigned, so let us start riding. We greet the herd that depart ahead us …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We start this difficult day … we cross the river … and we begin to reach the lava field …<\/p>\n
