Our first tour in Iceland went south, through black sand beaches, weird shaped rocks and water, all around, in the shape of rivers, waterfalls and lots of rain.
Or even steam that comes out of the earth and led to the name Reykjavik, smoky bay as the settlers thought they were seeing smoke.
The first stop was the photogenic Seljalandsfoss the magnificent waterfall that welcomes you to go behind it and then greets the adventurous with a shower of its mighty waters down from the glacier, followed by a harsh lesson on global warming when we paid a visit to the shrinking glacier Solheimajokull.
After lunch, we took a short stroll to the black sand beaches, and up the hill to enjoy the great views of Dyrhólaey and finally contemplate Reynisdrangar and the basalt sea stacks in the middle of the sea.
This was a day of many contrasts, unpronounceable names and water, lots and lots of water.
Telma & Antonio,
from the land of Ice and Fire
