Iceland Saga III
Iceland Boat Rides
Constance enjoyed several boat rides while in Iceland…the first one was in Stykkishólmur where we went on a wildlife excursion tour boat. Constance held on to the ropes!
A puffin Islet
This small rock just north of Stykkishólmur had puffin burrows in the turf at the top, and nesting Kittiwakes amongst the columns of Basalt.

Jokulsarlon
Another tourist excursion into Jökulsárlón lagoon on an amphibious boat. We drove from dry ground right into the water which is full of icebergs broken off of Vatnajökull Glacier.

Icebergs!
The Lagoon really was full of Icebergs!

On the ferry to Heimaey
Constance, Min and Patience join their cousin Frances on a Ferryboat ride to the Island of Heimaey . The town on the island almost got swallowed by lava in 1973 when a new volcano suddenly erupted right next to it and buried many homes in melted rock…and covered the rest in ash.

Sigh. I wish I was there! Absolutely gorgeous photos.
You must go, Ann, and bring little Fimm!
How cute! Love to see the background, too. Please email me privately – need info. laura
What an epic post, my friend!! Wow, I love the stories that accompany these wondrous pictures, you really have shared a great insight into this magical place in the world!
More magical than I can possibly describe or show…if you visit you will never be the same again!
Hey, Toad, thanks for the plug on your website!
You are so very welcome! We are so much enjoying this series, it’s our pleasure to share it. I am still looking in all the stores for a pair of thermal undies for us to use for a trip there, and in the meantime we can enjoy your photos & posts!
What a wonderful trip! We used to read about Heimay in my old third grade class.
The girls picked up rocks on Heimay that are brand-new – only 49 years old! And we saw the island of Surtsey in the distance!
That is new, geologically!
