Hell Freezes Over
---
Well, the road to Viti, or "Hell," in northern Iceland was paved not with good intentions but rather with snow drifts, so we couldn't go.
But here are some other pictures of the Akureyri and Lake Myvatn areas:
Meet the Fokker... (or, "I've got the little Fokker in my sights...")
Godafoss, or "Falls of the Gods."
Viti Crater from a distance. NASA brought the Apollo astronauts to this part of Iceland to train, since it was the closest thing to the lunar landscape available on Earth.
Snowmobiling on frozen Lake Myvatn. Notice the kids being dragged on sleds. Neat-o.
Geo-thermal mudpit.
Geo-thermal mudbrains.
Lava piles. The geology is a bit complicated, but the short version is that a natural dam burst and the lava that was in the process of cooling drained away leaving these already-cooled piles.
I'll try to post pictures of Reykjavik later.
