Hallormsstaðaskógur

The route to the Lagarfljót lake we took was through Hallormsstaðaskógur, one of the few forests on a mostly treeless island.

We saw a lot of familiar trees, like Oaks, Pines, and Poplars.

I only noticed one tree too large to put your arms around. Umlnown if this is because the forest is young or if the tree varieties grow very slowly.

I saw the most compact poplar I've seen in my life!

The path through the woods is well maintained and is an easy walk down to the lakeshore.
