Sept 14 Ice lagoon and Diamond Beach

This morning we went on a little hike from behind our hotel. It leads to Skaftafelljokul I.e the local part of the glacier.

The views were so pretty. The area is covered in lupins growing wild everywhere.

We then went to near the lagoon area. It was pouring with rain there!

 We went to the museum we visited yesterday for a coffee and had a chat with the manager. She told us all about the life of the author I mentioned yesterday and showed us the mountainside and explained some ways of travel and life in the late 19century before roads and cars of course.

I included this one of grandad because he jumped in front of my camera on purpose to annoy me !

The rain had eased and we went to amazing diamond beach. It is such an experience to see this. I feel so lucky…

Then we returned to the lagoon further down and then near the bridge where the ice flows into the sea.

 I hope you enjoy my photos, I took nearly 150 today!

can you see the sea dragon?well maybe….

On the way back to the hotel the clouds had lifted and you could see the top of the ice glacier.

We move further west on the south coast to Vik tomorrow. 

Just this moment taken from hotel window, the sunset on the top of mountain..
