Iceland Pictures

Margaret and I on a hike in eastern Iceland near Seydisfjordur. The ferry from Europe comes in here.

Margaret and I riding horses in western Iceland just outside a place called Grundarfjordur. Icelandic horses are a unique breed and are small. It was hard to get mine to keep its head up when we stopped because it must have been hungry.

This is a lake at the foot of a glacier where pieces of the glacier break off and float out to sea. The lake is called Jokulsarlon. Scenes from two James Bond films were filmed here. I remember one where Roger Moore is on skies getting away from bad guys. When he gets near the lagoon a hatch for a submarine opens up with the union jack on it, the submarine appears to be an iceberg. He escapes in the submarine, of course there is a beautiful woman waiting for him in the submarine. It was cold and drizzling this day. There is also a briliantly blue iceberg in the background that the picture doesn´t do justice.

This is near the black sand beach below. This is just some odd lava formation. There are all sorts of odd formations of lava around.

This is near the southern most point of the main island of Iceland. Near the town of Vik. The beach is black volcanic sand. When you go to touch it you think your hand is going to get dirty but it is just sand. There was a puffin colony near here and a lighthouse on the top of that ridge in the background.


On the same hike near Seydisfjordur mentioned above.


Me standing in front of Seljalanfoss in southern Iceland near another larger waterfall, Skokarfoss. This waterfall was cool because you could walk right around it. Of course, doing so resulted in you getting soaked, but it was still fun. Along the ridge behind the falls there were many other falls, none quite as spectacular.

Seljalanfoss, you can sort of make out the path around the back of the waterfall. It was around 40m tall I think.
