Sunset in Reykjavik, Iceland

sunsets in Iceland, sunsets, pictures of Icelands

This sunset in Iceland is one of the first pictures that I took when I arrived in Reykjavik.  First say Reykjavik three times, now try again.  I couldn’t pronounce, nor spell, Iceland’s capital city when I first arrived if my life depended on it.  One of the things that was very unusual about my visit […]

Sunset On The Iceland Countryside

This picture was taken on one the Iceland tours that I took.  The majority of people that live in Iceland live in the capital of Reykjavik (say that three times fast).   The people on the tour bus must have not liked us because we kept telling everyone to stop so I could take pictures […]

The Blue Lagoon In Iceland

Blue Lagoon in Iceland

This picture was taken at the entrance of the Blue Lagoon right before you sell your soul to enter.  A tourist trap by any definition, the Blue Lagoon in Iceland is very overpriced and they also have a salon and restaurant to please both your stomach and your urge to relax.  The actual experience was […]

A double shot of delicousness – Iceland

double shot

For those of you that know me personally, I am by no means a drinker.  But this actually intrigued me beyond belief.  We wanted to try something different and being in Iceland provided the perfect opportunity.  I present you the double shot of deliciousness.  I cannot remember the name of the drink (I should have […]

Bjork Concert Crater-Iceland

kerid bjork crater iceland

  Part of the Golden Circle tour, the artist Bjork held a concert at this volcanic crater because of the great acoustics.  It is starting to gain acceptance that the crater was formed from a volcano which emptied all its magma reserves and caved in rather than a volcanic explosion.  When you return to Reykjavik […]

Mysterious Man at Skógafoss Falls: Iceland

Skogafoss Waterfalls in Iceland

What you are seeing is Skógafoss waterfall on the South Coast tour of many Iceland tours to choose from.  This is also the site where my infamous fall occurred.  I am well known for climbing on things that I shouldn’t and also going to places where I should never try to go.  I went to […]

Sunset at Thingvellir National Park: Iceland

Part of Iceland’s Golden Circle tour this is the site of the World’s first Parliament which started in 930 AD.  This is also the site where North America and Europe tectonic plates are being torn apart by an average of 2 centimeters a year.  Here at  Thingvellir, you can see the two continents being spread […]

Unique Rock Formation: South Coast Iceland

Unique Rock Formation: South Coast Iceland

This unique rock formation is at the tail end of the South Coast tour in Iceland.  We enjoyed great Iceland food when we chose fish and chips at the local restaurant.  We were able to watch the sunset after leaving Thingvellir National Park as well.  I took one of my favorite picture here where many […]

Mid Atlantic Ridge: Golden Circle, Iceland

Mid Atlantic Ridge

They call Iceland the land of fire and ice for a reason, here you can see part of the convergence of the North American and European tectonic plates.  This part of the mid atlantic ridge is found at Thingvellir National Park.  One of the glaciers we visited was the actual volcano that exploded and stopped air […]
