Fjótsdalur is magnificent, being surrounded by three ice caps at the mouth of the Thorsmörk valley. I spent the rest of the day hiking up towards the Tindafjallajökull ice cap, starting on the mountain track but later following one of the many paths the sheep have worn in the steep meadows, and napping in the sunshine. I saw lots of sheep, many birds, a good handful of horses, and exactly zero humans the whole day.
