Clouds again Purple/pink sunrise Uninhabited farmhouse In-ground shed, with glacial backdrop Jökulsárlón beachfront Blue ice in the surf Sunrise is a long-lived affair this time of year Uncharacterstically crowded for Iceland in February Rippled Crumbled edge Clear and cloudy More ripples Birdhead Tapered to a point Through the looking ice Ring road over the river Hvannadalshnúkur from the road Washed out former bridge section Developing a fine patina Grey/green moss Coating the rocks A short river hike Dýralækjasker - a shelter hut Black sand floodplain A raised floor inside the hut Still stocked with basic provisions Better than being completely stranded, I suppose Bubbling along Skógafoss Skógafoss again Iced moss Peering down the falls Ice down below Misted in frost Wandering upriver Top of the falls A much smaller falls (18 inches, give or take) Small upper falls Carved canyon Looking downriver to the ocean In the four-mile tunnel Terraced basalt mountains Sloping gently to the coast Vibrant sunset The full scene Room at Hotel Egilsen
