Hvöll was, as far as we could tell, just a single establishment - the hostel-cum-farmhouse. To the south, as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but watery marshland - created by run-off from the glacier. The marshland was characterised by the black sand that has slowly been ground off the mountains as the glacier forces its way down.
