Zodiac patrol on the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon. Icebergs on the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon. Icebergs on the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon. Lagoon guide Helga gave us all a taste of ancient water. Djupivogur, the oldest trading center (16th century) in the Eastfjords.
New homes, hotel and cell tower in Djupivogur. Owner of a long-cabin-like knit-wear shop in the center of town. Beginning of a day-long ride across the highlands. The two-lane highway through this uninhabitable area is open only in summer. Typical homes of Icelandic elves in the highlands
Power lines. A very thin layer of soil covers volcanic outcroppings. Thin coating of moss on lava ridges. Got lamb? Gummy bears! This is the setting for Halldor Laxness’s fine novel “Independent People.”

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.
