Art deco design in a Krafla mud pot. The desolate moors between Myvatn and Akureyri in northeast Iceland. Water in Viti, an explosion crater near Mount Krafla. Viti is the rim of a larger caldera that has been worn down. The volcano that formed it is thought to be inactive. Diana and Dow from Glen Ellyn at the edge of Viti.
Godafoss (“waterfall of the gods”). Waterfall of the Gods. Godafoss again with 21st century seekers of truth. Waterfall of the Gods. Dettifoss has the greatest volume of any waterfall in Europe’s largest waterfall, with a flow of 500 cubic meters per second.
The thunder of Dettifoss is heard long before it can be seen. The basalt canyon of Hljodaklettar looks ordinary as one enters. Soon the shapes of Hljodaklettar become surreal, like this giant tree stump. (Note: Humans at base.) The canyon walls at Hljodaklettar assume an air of mystery. The name Hljodaklettar means “echoing rocks.”

Jean,
Thanks for the photo-tour. We've never been to Iceland so seeing your photos was a treat.
All is going well out here on the left coast. We just got back from the Pacific northwest and are heading out tomorrow on an RV caravan. We'll have two foreign students till Christmas and then we head to Death Valley for a week or two.

UP THE PUFFINS!!! UP THE COWS!!! This really looks NORTHERN. Thanks for taking pictures of ordinary things as well as extraordinary (that's all relative, isn't it!) Lise
