Eruption with Vala's eyes

31.3.2010

Vala from our office went to see the eruption for herself this week and here is the report of her experince. Lax-į will offer day tours to the eruption site this summer and it is ideal for anglers to add one day to experience the volcanic power here in Iceland. It is not unlikely that the eruption will still be going on this summer but specialists say that it might last for weeks or even years.

I took a trip with www.icelandontrack.is yesterday to see the eruption by Eyjafjallalokull in Iceland.

 In order to get there we had to cross the glacier, Solheimajokull, which in itself was exciting enough!

Weather was ok when we left Reykjavik at 14:00, rather windy though. On our way east the wind slowed down and by the time we reached the glacier it had calmed considerably, the sky was clear and visibility great.

We reached the eruption area around 5:30pm and what a sight!  It felt unreal to be there and witness this magnificent magnitude of power bursting into the air. The sound was also very special, quite loud actually.

 In just over a week a whole new landscape has evolved with a new mountain right in it!

We drove down to where the lava field ended and you could see the glow from fire everywhere within....some even tried frying a hot dog and it worked wonderfully ;-)

From the eruption itself a lava stream has evolved and ends up falling from a cliff forming a beautful fall of firy melting lava. 

Here we are, me with my daugter Valgerdur and son in law Bjossi.

There were helicopters flying around and quite a lot of people viewing this eruption which is not a big one but truly amazing and has really turned out to be a tourist eruption.

Later in the evening the eruption became greater and it was absolutely fantastic to see the contrasts of ice, sand and fire towards the darkening sky, one could not but admire the power in the life of the earth when it throws huge rocks on fire, into the air where they break into a million pieces, plum down and join the stream towards the inland.  It felt somewhat like a constant show of fireworks
Witnessing something like this is quite unique and one realises that proabably it will be only once in a lifetime so if you have a chance to see this I do recommend it.

26.4.2010 : Wow, Loop has done it again!

This Evotec rod is sure to become a hit and an all time favourite! I must admit that I haven't had a better #6 rod in my hands - ever. And I've tried so many. This rod is just great at both close range and at 90 ft+. And it performs so beautifully with snake rolls and underhand casts aswell. The Opti Stillwater line is a perfect match for the 696.

22.4.2010 : LAX-A IS BOOKING RUSSIA'S TOP RANKED PONOI RIVER FOR ONLY A SINGLE WEEK IN 2010.

ONLY TWO RODS REMAIN TO JOIN ME AT THE RENOWED BREVYENi CAMP JUNE 26 - JULY 3. Here is your chance to fish the finest salmon water in the world and lodge at the famed Brevyeni Camp at the same time. Brevyeni is considered by many to be the finest of all Russian lodges and will fish only 8 rods each housed in individual charming log cabins on the banks of this great river. I fished the Brevyeni Camp in June of 2008 and can tell you straight up,it was the best fishing I have ever experienced in 25 years of chasiong the king of fish around the world. I will be back at Brevyeni once again in just a few more weeks and I am as excited about returning as I was on my first ever trip to this high tundra wilderness wonderland. You can literally fish around the clock under the midnight sun but I'm sure you will find the fishing so damn good there will be no need to bust your butt building numbers. Everyone catches lots of salmon and some big brutes in the mix to boot. The lodging is unexcelled for wilderness accomodation, the guides speak good English and are both personalble and knowledgeable. The food is great, the vodka chilled and the ambiance spellbinding. This is a fantastic opportunity to capture a dream of a lifetime. I can't wait to return. Give me a call with any questions you may have and hopefully grab one of the last two spots in 2010 on the Ponoi. Time is running out. Lots to do to get ready.
