'''Lónsöræfi''' is a wilderness area in south-east [[Iceland]]. The region is characterised by its varied geological formations.

==History==
For many years 88.9 FM has been a [[Christian]] radio station in [[Antelope Valley]], owned by the Living Way Ministries/Life On The Way Communications (the call letters stood for "'''T'''he'''L'''iving '''W'''ay"). They run religious programming produced by their own church along with syndicated shows like "[[Focus on the Family]]", "[[Joni and Friends]]", "[[Insight for Living]]", among others. They run such shows half the time, playing music the other half.

Revision as of 23:08, 9 October 2008

Lónsöræfi is a wilderness area in south-east Iceland. The region is characterised by its varied geological formations. These mostly date from a period 5-7 million years ago when the volcano Kollumúlaeldstöðvar was active. The glacier tongues of the eastern extreme of Vatnajökull also impose themselves on the area. Visible to the north-west is Snæfell (1833m), the highest peak in Iceland that isn't part of a glacier. The mountains within the area itself include Sauðhamarstindur (1319m) and Jökulgilstindar (1313 m).

Lónsöræfi, while less known and less accessible than areas such as Skaftafell and the Southern Highlands, is nevertheless popular with hikers. A transport service from Stafafell farm into the reserve via all-terrain bus is available. Alternatively, the recent construction of a bridge for walkers over the Jökulsá í Lóni river at Eskifell has improved access for hikers. There are mountain huts at Geldingafell, Múlaskáli and Egilssel run by regional associations of Ferðafélag Íslands. A 4-6 day walking route fromSnæfell to Stafafell is possible via the Eyjabakkajökull glacier tongue. The area can also be reached fromGeithellnadalur. The nearest settlements of any size are Höfn and Djúpivogur.
