Description This was the only occasion where we set foot into an Icelandic forest.
Because Iceland​ has undergone extensive deforestation since Vikings settled in the ninth century there are not many forests to discover.
However we were able to discover a very deep and bizarre birch forest on our way down the F26. I really liked the shapes of the trunks and branches, unlike usual birch trees these had this gnarly zig-zag appearance, which mad them look really bizarre.

I thought Iceland didn't have any forests...

I only knew that Iceland was not well known for its forests before I went there, but apparently there really not many forests, I guess since quite some time there's a lot of engagement going on to get the trees growing again
