Esja

Wow! I'm having a feeling of deja vu right now. That is not why I'm writing. I'm writing to recount our hike up Esja today. Esja is the large mountain which lies across the bay from Reykjavik. We have been planning this hike for a week or more and since we had a day off today, we went for it. I went with Jim Junker (the other PhD student on the project) and the two undergraduate students, Brooke and Adam.

The trailhead was a short 20 minute drive from Reykjavik. We got there about 10:30am and started hiking shortly after. It was a difficult hike, mostly because Icelanders don't believe in switch-back trails. They just go for it! I won't bore you with any more text and I'll get right to the pictures. Here they are...Esja.
