very simple day
mountain goes up
mountain goes down
and end campsite was the ranger station for day 5
plenty of scenics, not much to talk about. we walked.

saw a thousand seagulls, and tens of arctic foxes, including 3 cubs playing right in front of us on this day. Very beautiful and cute! Featured some very simple rope climbing. Unlike the previous day, anyone who can handle an empire state building worth of steps times 5x can do this day.

The Hornvik campsite, this day's campsite, was quite a populated campsite. A big contrast from the 0 of the previous ones, as there was a boat connection here, and features the Extremely photogenic "Hornvik", famous from multiple movies and reference photographs (also death stranding), such as Prometheus (the aliens movie).

Got to talk with a lot of people there, and the ranger at the ranger station, and eat on a bench and table.

Final (not) Destination, the reason many people visit this peninsula. The Hornvik cliff. I have truly not much to say that can describe it. Intensely breathtaking, it was. It was alien, it was out of this world, it was completely and utterly dreamlike. It truly felt impossible. There is a boat connection from Isafjördur, straight to here, and you can walk a ~~10 - 15 km circle through one day to enjoy all of it, and then return to civilization via boat again the next day. Many a tents, many many.

It felt like i was on a sky-island, if you ever played or know the game "Netstorm", it felt like i was on one of those islands. utterly gobsmacked by that place i was.

Standing on the edge of a cliff going straight down 300 meters, with the clouds blasting straight up the edge infront of my face. Birds, not flapping once, very slowly being pushed up right infront of my face by the same wind blowing the thick cloud layer up infront my face. Not seeing the bottom of what feels like an infinite abyss of gray cloud fog below. There are 2 peaks, one in the center and one in the east. Both astonishing.

We climbed one of the peaks, in thick cloud layer. We sat on top of the peak for a while, and felt like we were in limbo or a truly liminal space. There was only a little rock we stood on, and nothing else. All gray

We also crossed a roughly 250 meter wide and 0.5 to 1.0 meter deep river (just balls deep) twice on this day, for we circled back to the campsite. Very cold water, very, very cold. I will not be posting the 5 minute long video of us crossing the river as it features my naked feet like 20 times and also my bulge cause im pantsless crossing the river
