Those who decide to continue on the well-marked
route over the
Fimmvorduhals
Pass to Skogar can divide the
leg by staying overnight in the hut in the pass after a 5 hour walk and
continue for five hours the next day down to Skogar.
Spending one night in the hut in the pass allows hikers to
make a detour to the top of South Iceland's highest mountain,
Eyjafjallajokull. Every precaution should be taken en route on the ice
cap.
All kind of weather is
experienced when crossing over to the south coast and sometimes the
markers are hidden by the snow patches. In 1970 a few hikers died of
hypothermia up there. Several books and booklets
are available on
these hiking routes.
