Falling Water💧🌈

Today we set off quite early towards the east. Early? ⏰️

We had quite a bit planned, and for that, we first had to drive about 2 hours in a jeep, including 30km of gravel road.🤠

We had chosen 3 special natural spectacles in the Jökulsargljufur (3x quickly say it in succession please) National Park for today.

Once again, the drive was a series of visual delights.😲

Almost by accident, we first paid a little visit to the Godafoss.

As a small prelude to what was yet to come today.

...foss = waterfall

The drive then took us past Lake Myvatn, also an impressive setting.

There were 2 routes to our destination, Dettifoss: Normal🥱 or Jimny🥳

Of course, we went the adventurous route.

The path was pretty bumpy.

The Dettifoss takes your breath away with its roaring primal force. The ground shakes beneath your feet next to the waterfall.

The gray water (due to the basalt) seems almost ominously beautiful. On top of that, there's a magnificent rainbow in the spray.🌈

Our hike then continued upstream to the equally impressive Sellfoss.

Nature never ceases to amaze.

Here, the river plunges in from two sides into the depths.

Still hungry for more, we paid a visit to the 3rd waterfall in the group. The Hafragilsfoss is very beautiful, but not as impressive as the two before it. Still gets a 1.

On our way back, we traveled through the high north with a stop in the whale capital, Husavik🐳.

A delicious dinner (of course no whale) at the harbor and we were able to start our journey home renewed.

North Iceland is truly enchanting.🥰

Tomorrow we will go whale watching.🤩

Stay tuned!

Dine❤️🌈Jeff
