please note yesterdays photos are now uploaded please see them! look them up for sept 5th

Today we followed a trail to see 2 impressive waterfalls and volcanic eruption devastation.

The whole area is very different in each case. 

Leaving AKUREYRI we went through a long long tunnel saving us 15 kms. 

The first place on the route was Godafoss.waterfall.

It is so dynamic. You park the car and then can walk along the top of the side of the river and over up to the waterfall. I thought it was wonderful.

We next followed the A1 route over where 2 volcanoes had erupted along fissures. We called at the information centre to find out more.

Put simply as the larva erupted it caused a huge lake to form and the water cooled the larva forming mineral columns usually seen under the sea. Also the steam came from the earth forming huge mounds (and these kind of humps are found on the surface of Mars too)

We passed oozing mud and sulphur mining. It did not smell pleasant!

The next waterfall was so outstanding in scale force and noise.

Look at my photos and see how small the people look beside it.

Dettifoss is truly magnificent in every way. 

I’m so pleased we have been lucky enough to see all these wonderful sights, I count my blessings.

Back in town we noticed the traffic lights have red hearts ahhhh!

This is the 2nd time I’ve written my blog today. I lost the first attempt pictures and all so fingers crossed this time. Xxxx
