One of the things that always draws me back to Iceland is that sense you get when looking across some of its landscapes that you may just not be on our home planet any longer. I am a fan of rugged terrain with unusual features, especially when I get a feeling of just wanting to spend a lot of quiet time in those environs.
The Hverir in the Myvatn region rank very high in my list of those types of landscapes…
The power of the fumaroles in this area, as they hiss out their sulphur-laden exhaust, transports me to other planets, some of which may not have been discovered by humanity yet. I could spend hours in this landscape as clouds and light dance across it, just breathing in the sights, sounds and scents.
The first time that I came to this region, I had a travel guitar with me and felt drawn to play an acoustic rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s amazing song ‘Little Wing’. It’s just one of those moments that we have to experience!
