North Iceland: Water: cold and hot

Charles arrived early Sunday morning, and we headed north. The thermal river experience had us ready to seek out more warm soaks. As we drove, we were often surrounded by mountains with melting snow, waterfalls cascading in large and small crevices, and fiords slipping in between green fields and plains. Thanks to Will and Charles for sharing their photos of our various water experiences this week.

One of many small unknown waterfalls
Dettifloss Waterfall- purportedly the largest waterfall in Europe
Hofsos Sundlaugh- town of Hofsos local infinity pool, beautifully warm and situated beside the fiord. We were just one of many families stopping in for a swim and a soak on a Sunday afternoon.
GeoSea Thermal Sea Baths in Husavik- an amazing place to soak and admire how well it fits into its setting
The view of the fiord from inside a thermal bath at GeoSea
Godafoss Waterfall- waterfall of the gods, just before sunset at 10:30pm
Tiny waterfall from melting snow along the road to Husavik
View of the Greenland Sea
Geothermal steam venting from the earth driving through Myvatn
A little rain, over a river with snowy mountains in the backdrop, capped by a rainbow (our third in as many days)
Charles soaking at Vok Baths in the Northeast. Two of the pools are floating in a lake, fed by geothermal springs under the lake

  1. Wow! These pics are beautiful and I love the travelogue! I went for a long holiday weekend in October, about 4(?) years ago. Now I definitely want to return in the summer. Happy travels!
