Arriving in Akureyri, Iceland
|
Looking right down their small airport's runway
|
Buses lined up waiting for us...
|
Us and the our ship across the fjord behind us
|
All those little white dots are sheep. That's Lake Mivatyn in the background
|
An map and explanation of the geothermal area we visited. We passed several large Geo-thermal electrical generating plants, and they pipe steam for heating long distances to the towns.
|
One of many hot steam & sulpher fumaroles we saw. Nice NOT to be "over protected". You could get as close as you wanted, stick your hand in the steam, whatever.
|
Boiling hot mud pool. They just warned us about the danger, once. Refreshing attitude, compared to the fences and warning signes you would no doubt see in the US.
