Now you see it, now you don’t

At Kárahnjúkar they give a dam.

According to some tree-hugging hippies, the twin mountains of Kárahnjúkar in the north-east of Iceland are some of the most beautiful examples of the Icelandic Highlands.

However, according to some cold-blooded technocrats, they are also the best place for an absolutely massive dam project.

The technocrats are winning. The dam project is already well under way, promising to flood the entire area. So now would probably be a good time to visit.

And we mean right now.

Kárahnjúkar are about 45 minutes driving distance from Egilsstaðir in Eastern Iceland. At least for a few more months.
