Westfjords
Westfords is peaceful and remote. A place to return to for sure! Morning in Bildudalur.
Evening in Bildudalur.

Ice Cream!!!
Locals in Akureyri really talked up Brynja ice cream. We made the pilgrimage on a warm sunny afternoon.
A Troll keeps his eye on the scene outside Brynja! Trolls and elves, so called “hidden people”, are prominent in Icelandic folklore. And, they probably like ice cream!

Random in Akureyri
Some small scenes that caught my eye in Akureyri, Iceland’s “second city”!
I like little pictures. Colored light from the Akureyri movie theater through frosted glass!

Hverir
On the road to Hverir.
Hverir is a large geothermal area of mud pools, fumaroles and sticky red dirt. It’s hot, stinky and not unlike being on another planet.
Definitely worth a look if you’re traveling in North Iceland!

Seydisfjördur
Seydisfjördur is a picturesque little town in East Iceland. My favorite site was Olive’s black boots on this colorful, brick walkway.

Fresh Local
In case you thought the only thing happening in Iceland is the dramatic landscape, Höfn is know for fresh local lobster! Heimahumar Local Langoustine has the best lobster soup ever and super, tasty lobster wraps! And, it’s a food truck- hipsters take note!

Höfn
Evening, low tide, fog hovering offshore, we could hear waves breaking on the sand bars beyond the harbor. It felt so special, so different. Maybe because it was Iceland???

Jökulsárlón
Also known as “glacier lagoon”, Jökulsárlón is another example of Iceland’s dramatic landscape!
Just off the Ring Road, it’s a popular tourist stop!

Glaciers Too!
Beautiful beaches, green farms and fields and glaciers too! We spent half a day hiking on Fjallsjökull Glacier. Fjallsjökull is small part of a huge glacial system in Vatnajökull National Park in Southeast Iceland.
Alfred, our guide was knowledgeable, low key and had a dry sense of humor. Here he is pointing out fun facts about glaciers!
Alfred, striking a pose!
The view from the bottom of Fjallsjökull.
Alice walking out after the hike. That’s Fjallsjökull in the background.
