Use the white snow to make colorful gear (like a traditional Icelandic Lopapeysa sweater) pop against the dark lava rocks.

A smaller geothermal crater lake where you can often swim in milky-blue, warm water (approx. 25°C). The path down into the crater can be slippery.

Bring all your own food and plenty of water. The nearest services are hours away.

Highland light changes rapidly. "Golden hour" lasts a long time in the Icelandic summer, providing soft, dramatic shadows.

Generally considered slightly easier than F88 but longer. These routes avoid some of the deeper river crossings but still require high clearance.

The most direct route from the Ring Road (near Mývatn). It involves several river crossings that can be deep and dangerous after rain.
