Krakhamar was great, the owner was very friendly and helpful, the day we were supposed to leave the road was washed out, and she was very accommodating and helpful. As for the apartment, we were able to cook a fantastic dinner, and enjoyed a peaceful night sleep, despite the storm outside.

Just beautiful- we used Icelandic Mountain Guides to go out of the glacier. I’d highly recommend. An experience of a lifetime.
