​​31 Days In Iceland

Day 10 - Ásbyrgi, Vesturdalur, Dettifoss & Selfoss - North Iceland

8/25/2018

0 Comments

 
Today we explored the east half of the "Diamond Circle" which lies within the boundaries of Vatnajökull National Park. This northern section of the National Park is Jökulsárgljúfur which means "glacial river canyon".

We drove into the northern entrance to the canyon, hiked a mid-section of the canyon, and visited one of the most powerful waterfalls in Europe.

Day 9 - Waterfalls, Volcanic Sites, Thermal Areas, & Whales - North Iceland

The weather was better today as we visited several interesting spots in North Iceland.

We started with a couple of lovely waterfalls, one of which was one of our favorites from our entire trip. Then we made three stops around Lake Mývatn before visiting a couple of thermal areas including a crater with a lake. To end the day, we took a whale-watching tour in ​Húsavík.

Day 8 - Tröllaskagi Peninsula - North Iceland

8/23/2018

Unfortunately, we had lousy weather on our 8th day in Iceland. We did stop at one of the best village pools in the country, but other than that, we drove in the rain around mountains that were covered by clouds.

It looked like the Tröllaskagi Peninsula (the troll peninsula) is beautiful, but the weather just hampered our visit, and we didn't get to see or photograph much.

Day 7 - Drangsnes,  The Vatnsnes Peninsula, & Kolugljúfur Gorge In North Iceland

8/22/2018

We had rain and low clouds most of the day which curtailed some of our plans and had an impact on the scenic views.

The Vatnsnes Peninsula is probably best known for seal watching, and there were certainly a lot of people watching seals at the popular spots.

But our favorite stop of the day was at Kolugljúfur Gorge, where waterfalls tumbled into a short, but beautiful canyon.​
