 Today 27 of February we take pictures and there you can see that it is plenty of ice everywhere.

Yesterday were minus 7° and good weather.

Old story of Iceland says that the day yesterday should have 18 brothers.

It mean that at least next 17 days will be good for ice climbing!!!

The Landrover was waiting for James, Julie, Michelle and Brian when they came to the airport in Akureyri.
They had the car all the time they were staying in Björg. This photo of the Landrover is taken 50 meters from the climbing area.
They were all smiling when they left!
