Sunlight on the sea at Reynishverfi. Sea sandwort, common on sandy beaches in Iceland. A few hundred meters from the coast, the vegetation becomes lush. Sheep from a farm in the Reynishverfi area. Good-luck cairn
Beyond the cairns, the sandy desert of Myrdalssandur. Lava from an eruption in the year 894 remains. The Lakagigur (Laki) eruption of 1783-84 left this lava field, now moss-covered. As a result of Laki’s 1783-84 eruption, one-third of the population died and nearly as many left the country. A mile to the west of Kirkjubaejarklaustur...
The once-powerful River Fjadra carved this canyon in three days as it plunged from a large inland lake to the ocean. Looking southeast, toward the ocean, from the top of the Fjadra Canyon. The River Fjadra, looking from a bridge that spans its southeast end. The River Fjadra, looking from a bridge that spans its southeast end. Electricity came to southeastern Iceland only in 1974.

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.
