June 13, 2017: A Cloudy Day in Iceland Part 1

We went on another, even longer, bus tour to the South East coast of Iceland. As the title of this post indicates, it was quite cloudy and there was steam coming out of the ground.

There were farms huddled below ominous looking hills.

We were never far from water.

Our first stop was at a waterfall called Skogafoss.

Various hardy souls wanted the view from the top of the falls.

The view from the bottom was fine with us.

 The next stop was the glacier Solheimajokull.

It's grey because the ice is covered with grey and black volcanic ash. A different tour group had crampons, ice axes and a dispensation to walk on the ice.

 Our group heeded this sign.

We were fine with that.
