The Perlan

Looks like a space ship but the tanks harness the hot water that is used to heat the houses here in Iceland. It stands on a hill right outside our hotel.

The Coast guard fleet sits in the harbor, look close you can see the mountains in the back ground, still have not seen the tops they are hidden in the clouds. The puffins play in the water just off the dock.

Blue Lagoon Blue Lagoon - Wikipedia(Click Here) The Blue Lagoon (Icelandic: "Bláa Lónið") geothermal spa is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. The steamy waters are part of an other-worldly lava formation. The Blue Lagoon spa and geothermal complex is clearly visible from any of the usual satellite imagery sources at coordinates.

The last of the crew to get out of the lagoon.

It started off bleak but the blue sky started to peak through and the blue lagoon lived up to its name before we had to get out.

Geysistofa Geysir only one active geysir at the moment but she goes off about every 3 to 7 minutes. Beware don't stand down wind when she goes or you will get wet! Golden Circle Tour The three primary stops on the route are Þingvellir, Gullfoss, and the geothermally active valley of Haukadalur, which contains the geysers Geysir and Strokkur. Þingvellir is a national park containing both historical and natural beauties. Gullfoss, meaning golden falls, is a spectacular waterfall that is a must see. The two grand geysers, Strokkur and Geysir are both spectacles to watch

There she goes! That one is about 30 feet high.

Cingular Falls, or at least that is how Anna said it. Gullfoss is a waterfall located on the White River (Hvítá) in south central Iceland. Its name means the Golden Falls(Click Here) Sigríður Tómasdóttir, the daughter of Tómas Tómasson was determined to save the waterfall from utilization and even threatened to throw herself into the waterfall. A very popular story is that Sigríður did save the waterfall from utilization, however, this is not true.

Leo I would watch out these boys might just toss you in.
