Tonight will be your last night on the ice.
Today you will carefully navigate to find a way off the ice by continuing through the snow loaded landscape towards the mountain cabin of Hveravellir.
The cabin is in a geothermal area so you will be blessed with natural hot springs to go in while staying the night.
