After breakfast we visited the Thorvaldseyri visitor center, which opened in 2011, so we could watch a 20-minute film about the spectacular eruption in Eyjafjallajokull in 2010. I remembered how this particular event singlehandedly brought most of Europe's air travel to a screeching halt from April 15-23.
This is the family farm buried in ash from Eyjafjallajokull in 2010 and fully restored
by the neighbors and family in an incredible display of resilience and resolve
to start over again.
It was so windy I was almost blown into the sea at this black beach.
The super jeep tour took us to Kotlujokull glacier, but when we stopped to get out of our jeep for a closer look we were pelted by sleet. So we had to satisfy ourselves with some quick, distant photos. You can still see some of the glacier that maintains its snowy base.
The last stop before we arrived at our hotel was Vik village and Seljalandsfoss waterfall - 200 ft. deep with a passage behind it for anyone wanting to see the waterfall from behind it.
