Strokker at work again. Beautiful.
Then on to Gullfoss - the "Golden Falls" due to it's clouds of spray.
It's still early morning so a little hard to see that it falls from the
river level and then makes a turn and falls into a deep canyon.
Better light now...we'll be back for this one!
Kerio Crater - a small crater with lake..black & red lava colors.
Ah, more of the moss covered lava fields then...
into the grassy plains with large mountains and glaciers behind.
Snorrastofa - a memorial to Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241) a very
important figure in the Island's history--unfortunately, it was
closed. He is one of the large Saga figures. Check the internet
for more info if interested.
This was our "blow you away" waterfall for Iceland - Hraunfossar
This picture can't begin to do it justice. The water flows under the
lava field and then just appears with dozens and dozens of small
falls pouring into the river. Incredible!!
Imagine dozens and dozens of these falls and you might get
a little bit of what it's like...one of those "you have to be there"
places. Then off to a campground for the night - rain, rain & rain!
