Day 31

On my last day in Iceland my family and I drove eastward to visit my uncle. He's opening a bed and breakfast in the spring and we got to taste his delicious home-made bread and waffles. Not only can he bake, but he is also a very talented photographer.

In this area there are many beautiful places that are also very popular by tourists. Of course we stopped to take a few photos.

The Icelandic horse is well adapted to cold weather, he is small and sports a winter coat during the colder months.


Iceland sits on 2 shifting plates and thus had volcanic activity and lots of hot water close to the surface.


Dirt that has been frozen and lifted out of the ground.


Ice crystals


Do not cross the rope unless you want to be soaked by boiling water.


Geysir's little brother Strokkur erupts every few minutes. I was unprepared so I only caught the photo when the water was coming back down.


Gullfoss waterfall
