Fimmvörðuháls hiking route is up there and you can see the path up Brattafönn. At this time people were not allowed to go there. Date: 1-APR-2010. Seen from the road in Fljótshlíð – telephoto lens made this possible since I was in several kilometers distance from the eruption at that time. Date 3-APR-2010.
