Geyser’s, Glaciers, and Waterfalls

OK…if your world revolves around  Geyser’s, Glacier’s or Waterfalls, you have found the ‘Honey Hole” in Iceland. As I’ve said from the beginning of the Iceland trip, this is a spectacular country for natural scenery….nothing compares. I thought I’d post some photos of what I consider to be some of the highlights.

 

Lets start with Geyser’s…

Look closely as there are ice climbers walking on the level part…gives you a perspective on the size! Also, notice the blue hue to the ice
