Standing at the foot of the impressive Skogafoss waterfall in southern Iceland, you automatically become curious. Where does all that water come from?
Where more than 20 years ago I took myself up a sandy path, which was a real calf biter, now you can just follow the 400 steps up. (Spoiler Allert, it's still a calf biter).

The cloud in this photo did not bode well. They show that there are strong winds on the way. Once again, we were defeated by the wind during the hike.
