I regularly browse the internet for locations that I plan to visit and so did I for Iceland in September 2016. I found some stunning pictures of a valley with a free floating river called Þórsmörk. And here I finally was. At the end of our 10 day trip after an hour hike in the rain before sunset I was on the peak. Since it was cloudy and I had hardly any light, but rain and wind I already started my way back. I felt disappointed and then I saw a tiny bit of blue sky in the dense cloud cover. "When the weather is not good in Iceland, wait for 10 minutes", I remembered. And so I did.
The picture shows what happened after 10 min. It gave me a more than satisfied and grateful mood for my descend!
Our way to Þórsmörk
![It is a good two hours drive to get to Þórsmörk after leaving the ring road. Lots if rivers to cross!](https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1030x10000:format=jpg/path/s5fc1191f5b3acf5a/image/i26ce8a55934287d5/version/1496088369/image.jpg)
Hiking up the mountain
![I had a picture in mind of a free floating river in a valley so I had to hike that mountain. This is how I got welcomed up there.](https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1030x10000:format=jpg/path/s5fc1191f5b3acf5a/image/ie8c8d07d3c066101/version/1496088412/image.jpg)
![This a a more wide angle shot of the first picture of this blogpost. The light just lasted for a couple of minutes. Happy to have gotten it!](https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1030x10000:format=jpg/path/s5fc1191f5b3acf5a/image/i2457f956f20701a2/version/1496088218/image.jpg)
