We continued our journey along the south shore of Snaefellsness Peninsula. There is so much to see!! We were trying to hurry along yet we didn't want to miss anything. I think that there will be at least one more chapter after this one. Thanks for looking!!

I took a look at all of your postings and it looks like Iceland is a landscape photographers paradise. I hope to travel to Iceland this summer. I am booked on a cruise to Greenland which leaves out of Iceland. I am looking forward to the trip. Your pictures are very motivating. Thanks for posting.

Number 3 is very interesting. Check out the resemblance to this structure, called an oratory, I believe, located on the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. Very nice set!

The trip of a lifetime. Just looked up Icelandic language, looks difficult to learn.

Yes, one heck of a trip!

It's interesting that most people in Iceland speak fluent English.
(Put a sentence or three in Google Translate. I couldn't learn it easily...)

Thank you, Longshadow!! That was a pretty interesting rock formation. There was a guy there flying a drone around the structure getting a shot from every angle that he could.

I wonder what his pictures might look like.

Thank you, NMGal! The volcanoes have really shaped a large portion of Iceland. I would hate to try to walk two miles across some of that volcanic rubble!

Thank you, AJ! The little hut that you posted must have taken a long time to build. Every stone is shaped and formed and very neatly placed. Thanks for posting!
