Arrival in Iceland
Our wheels for the trip
After soaking for 4 hours
Holly running behind the waterfall
Wet rainy day
The road just dropped off... The sign did not quite explain that one properly...
Thought it was more like this
Random waterfalls everywhere...
Taking a look up the largest glacier in Europe.
I wanted to try some glacial ice so i jumped on to get a chunk. Very crunchy
Icebergs from the unseen glacier behind.
Holly likes the horses
Holly looking for some stones

The river crossing
incredible waterfall
Holly on the edge of about a 500 ft vertical drop
Tallest waterfall in Iceland at 198m (about 650 ft) with shear cliffs all around
Best shot we could get without losing the camera.
We should go that way. (or would you like to disco)
Grassland, Lavafield, Volcano and Glacier
Getting through a tight spot
Did not even realize I was walking over an archway.
Unique crevice in the rock wall due to a small stream. We were able to follow it in for about 50 meters.
Hard to capture how narrow and tall the crevice was.
Swans all over the country
Famous Church in the capital
Black sand dunes and Beaches (site of Clint Eastwood's "Iowa Jima" movie filming)
Bridge between the continental plates (in another location)
On our way home already. Followed a beautiful sunset the entire way home.
