cormorant and young
There are some nice small harbors on the north coast, from which we set out.
One dramatic day, we went to see Eyjafjalla jokull [this last means volcano] which has been spewing that ash which interfered with flights.

so much ash, in thick layers over everything...
So we really needed to see something different, and we went to:
Godafoss [waterfall of the gods]
and
Gulfoss, a huge waterfall in several tiers. There is so much water coming up in vapors that you cannot get a very clear picture.
Towards the end of our stay, we helped celebrate Iceland's national day. It was rather fun to see the parade and hear the songs.
some cute and colorful kids
All in all, an interesting country. I was particularly fascinated by the use of geothermal energy. All that hot water [200 C and up] is definitely put to good use!
