After spending a couple of days in Vik, it was time to move to the next destination. Just after sunrise, this was one scene that I found leaving Vik.
Many areas of Iceland are covered by lava fields. These fields are typically covered by moss.
As I made way towards Höfn, I stopped at the Skaftafell Glacier. Hiking from the parking lot, I headed up the the foot of the glacier.
Later during the day, I stopped at the Fjallsarlon Glacier. From the parking area, there is a one mile hike to the lagoon, where the glacier melts as it flows into the lagoon.
I captured several images of icebergs floating in the lagoon.
The size of the icebergs pictured here are deceptive; the ones above and below are about 1 to 2 feet in height above the water. Of course this represents some 10% of the total size of the icebergs, since 90% of the mass of the bergs are below the waterline.
While at the parking area, I was fortunate to find a Rock Ptarmigan that was strolling along the edge of the parking lot.
All for now.
