Itinerary description
Located between the Hnappadalur and Hítardalur valleys, Geirhnjúkur no doubt offers views of broad swathes of landscape - when I was there, however, the visibility was only abot 20 yards! I guess I'll have to go back :-)
Some of the kinks in our tracks stem from needing to avoid snow-filled gullies - the avalanche danger seemed rather high. We also had trouble finding a safe route down the slope on the return, hence the 90° turn ...
