Grenivik, a cute little town that we stopped at on our way to Myvatn. The weather has changed rather dramatically, gale force winds and quite cold. The mountains that we climbed amongst yesterday are barely visible today.
Our next stop was Godafoss Falls. They are humongous, and so loud. It was very difficult to get close as the strong wind was blowing the spray everywhere. The river before and after the falls was flowing so fast and furiously, as if it were in flood...not the end of summer.
Peter took this photo with his phone. We are now in Reykajahlid .... A very small town overlooking the lake, Myvatn ( which I think will look more beautiful when the weather clears). Still, despite the weather we put some warm gear on and went for a hike through the lava field by the lake...exhilarating !
The lava field here is the result of a relatively recent lava flow...1729... It is amazing to walk across, like nothing I have ever seen before. There is moss growing over it, it feels like walking on a soggy mattress at times.
