Halldorīs Dad, Mr. Kvaran, in the Jokulheimar Hut. Late in the evening, we played a few hands of cards, a game called "Cucumber". I have always been a wretched card player, and lost repeatedly. Mr. Kvaran had plenty of interesting stories to tell about the ice cap, and a lot of dire warnings. I didnīt sleep much. Image copyright Halldor Kvaran, 2003.
