Thermal Springs and Waterfalls

8/19/16 - Thermal Springs and Waterfalls


Panorama of the eastern side of fjord...



"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble..."

Photos of the Lake Myvatn area and its volcanic eruptions. 
Clockwise from upper left: the bakery; covered thermals where rye bread is being baked; a boiling cauldron.












Sulphur, midges and trolls...

A hike through the black castles lava formations of Dimmuborgir - home of a lonely troll.  Clockwise from upper left: trying to defend all facial orifices from the midges, while lessening the sulphur smells of the geothermals; George & Kaye in their stylish nets; 
Barb & Lynn as bandits; Roslyn modeling her upper-body midge protection; 
Kaye & Barbara under cover.  




Sights and sounds of Godafoss (waterfall of the gods)...

The rushing water of the glacial river falls 40 feet. The waterfall was named when one of the parliament members removed the statues of the Norse gods from the waterfall 
after Christianity was declared the national religion in 1000.
