A very hot geothermal
pool. I thought it was pretty.

Me being surrounded by hot geothermal steam
and loving it.

This is where the Eurasia tectonic plate meets the Americas
tectonic plate. The bridge moves a few inches a year. No wonder
they call Iceland a geologists paradise! |
|
The Blue Lagoon. This was the most relaxing
experience I have ever had in my life and I would go back to
Iceland if only to experience it again. Wading in the warm
mineral rich water lets all your cares go away. Which was good
because we missed our flight on the way back and it paid to stay
calm.

Notice that the water is coming out of the
rocks. Iceland is full of picturesque falls such as these. |
A green house that uses geothermal heat to grow
tomatoes. We basically lived off the green house tomatoes and
cukes. Everything else was shipped in from far away. |
|
Esja mountain. I climbed to the very top, well almost:) |
This was a picture we took on a walk not far from where we were
staying. The unique thing about this picture is that it is
actually midnight and still not dark. |
|
Another amazing waterfall.
|
A Geyser that is right next to the original geyser and where we
got the name geyser from. Geyser is an Icelandic word. (The only
one I understand I might add!) The original geyser doesn't go
off anymore but it's neighbor does. |
