Packing gear at the Jokulheimar Hut on the West margin of the ice cap. Halldor and his Dad tansported me to the hut with their amazing snow machines, seting off just a few hours after I landed in Reykjavik and collected the last supplies, such as stove fuel and matches. On the right is a bust of the founder of the Icelandic Glaciological Society. Unfortunately, I forgot to write down his name. Image copyright Halldor Kvaran, 2003.
