1 to 5 Jul 2008 - North Eastern Iceland, Iceland
Some retrospective notes - made in 2018!
Great views, meeting people, and whale watching
And that speeding ticket...
Coastal scenery, east Iceland - Vesturhorn & Brunnhorn
Seyðisfjörður
Town in the eastfjords.
White out conditions making driving difficult
Barren airstrip
Typical rural emergency airstrip in Iceland - a flat area of land, a windsock, and a sign!
Mud bubbles
Mud bubbles
Mud explosion
Steam vent
Mineral filled lake, and stained soil
Expanse of lava
Lunar landscape
Thermal waters
This is the reason I carry a tripod with me for a whole trip and only use it for 4-5 photos...

Beautiful light on the pseudo craters around Mývatn
Humpback Whale - Húsavík
A small puff from the blowhole, with very interesting markings (barnacles?)
Humpback Whale - Húsavík
While slapping his(her?) tail on the surface of the water. The spray is flying off the tail, here.

I love the outline of the huge beast under water...

Diving...
Ásbirgi Canyon - Jökulsárgljúfur National Park
Allegedly formed in 3-4 days when the meltwater from a volcano under an icecap broke out.

Dining in Húsavík with Judith and Sicco
Judith and Sicco are from Hamburg. We met them while whale-watching, and had dinner with them that evening. We visited the thermal swimming pool as well. The next night, we got invited over to the place they were staying and "ate in" with them, a mixture of all our camp foods, but it ended up being quite a gourmet meal!
