Funny moment this early morning when we went to Egilsstaðir petrol station to refuel petrol, as our sliding door are frozen and the lid can't be open! The sliding door somehow need to be open before the lid can. It was kind of panic to all of us with this scenario, and luckily after few tries from us, we finally manage get the sliding door, and proceed with the refueling. The weather must be so damn freezing on yesterday night, that nobody was aware.
We continue our journey on Þjóðvegurand from far we can see lots of snow capped mountain from far away. We follow the path and soon there is an uphill route that lead us higher nearer to it.
Wasteland around us with snow capped mountain far from us.
Good morning from PPP!

Estimate rough climb of 100-150 meters high.
Unexpectedly, the whole area is covered with snow, and it is all white all around us, is just like a land of white fantasy! Now only we know there must be a snow a night earlier that created this white fantasy land for us. The white fantasy land and bright sun allow us to playing around in this area without suffering too much coldness, and it was so comfortable and fun!
First peek of the white fantasy land.
Snow land under bright sun.

Lay down and empty my mind~
After laying down on the snow and wandering around, felt that my yellow winter coat was so heavy and start to felt a bit hot due to sun light, hence taking it off. Felt more flexible to play around!

We spend roughly around 30 minutes wandering here before proceed with our journey. Unexpectedly we continue to surround by this white fantasy land for a very long drive, it was so huge!
We saw a very photogenic mountain, with total white under the sunbeam. It can be seen from very far away, and slowly we getting near and next to it. We stopped by and have a good look from closer range and it was so magnificent under bright sun light. We name it super white, 超级白 in mandarin. :p
Continue our road trip.

There are many frozen lake scatter around.
Looks like we are next to it after few more turns.
If we have time, we should explore whole area slowly, it must be many hidden view scatter around.

Saying goodbye to super white, and we continue our drive towards Myvatn lake direction. On the road there are many other beautiful mountain as well which slightly covered by mist, and it was so beautiful. Those photos are only capture directly from car while moving, yet it is still an excellent output.
Suddenly the mist become thicker and our direction need us to drive through it. Driving in Iceland mean you have to get ready with this kind of circumstances, we just keep calm and move on.
It was really an unexpected long drive of unlimited snow land.
Another random mountain.
Thick mist on lower ground make the mountain looks like floating.
Sudden thick mist.
Mist fading and there were some vision of incoming beautiful mountain.
Combine with the lower mist, it was so unreal.
Very beautiful random mountain along the road.
It was so gorgeous.
Long drive is not tiring at all with this scenery around.
It must be very cold up there.
Still I wish I can explore up there.
Another random roadside.
Incoming dark thick mist.
