I was in Iceland last summer and fell in love with the country (I have to say that we enjoyed 10 days in a row of sun!) next time I'll approach Heckla with one of your tracks. We saw it from a distance and then we flew above it and it's impressive.
btw: thanks for correcting the wrong accent of my GPS track! :)
Cheers
