Southeast Coast of Iceland

Let the Iceland chatter continue.  The Southeast coast was colder than the rest of the island and our Wyoming roots were anxious to find some snow.  It didn't take long before we stumbled on a huge glacier.

We hiked to the glacier tongue.

It was melting rapidly.

The pieces of ice would then float out to the ocean.  Some would get washed back onto the shore.  (photos near Jokulsarlon)

We warmed-up by going on a hike in Skaftafell National Park.  We found waterfall Svartifoss.  (You knew this post would eventually have a waterfall picture.)

It was then puffins viewing time.  We got to see lots of puffins, but unfortunately they are not very photogenic.  Instead of showing you blurry puffin photos, here is a glimpse of where they live on the Southern most coast near Vik.  Not a shabby place.

More great Iceland memories made.

You should all be very angry.  I lied to you all.  Dad says his leisure suit was brown and his tuxedo was baby blue.  I'll work on the lying.

Happy birthday Anna.
