The annual Mývatn Open competition on frozen Lake Mývatn was just around the corner and as usual the local riding club Þjálfi and Sel-Hótel Mývatn offered riders from near and far to come for a ride on ice the day before the competition.
Unfortunately the weather had been rather warm the last days and the ice at the lake not at it's best. So the local riders decided to rather make a track on the frozen meadows and swamps on the other side of Sel-Hótel. As I wasn't taking part I took my cam with me and was lucky enough to get Raggi, the hotelowner, as a private driver. There was a team from "Horses of Iceland" too, videotaping the whole thing. I definitely enjoyed my stay and hope you like the pics.
