The Fjallabak region takes its name from the numerous wild and rugged mountains with deeply incised valleys, which are found there. Because of the cold climate up in the highlands vegetation is scarce and so is animal life. You could find some sheep grazing there in the summer time and some birds but that´s about it
The desolate wilderness and tranquillity are the main characteristics of the area, a place of contrasts from vast black sand deserts to rhyolite covered mountains. It is a true wilderness that I love to visit few times every year
