Columnar Basalt

Took a short day trip yesterday to a nearby lighthouse. The geological rock formations on the peninsula were amazing. The same kind of columnar basalt that we saw on the Giant's Causeway in Ireland and the Isle of Staffa in the Western Hebrides in Scotland.

Climbing Spákonufellshöfði 

We climbed to the summit of "Soothsayer Mountain" yesterday.  It was an all day event and Thor made it all the way to the top!  646 Meters!

Icelandic horses!

Thor & Chrissy on the mountain.

Snow in July!

Iceland Week 2

Its the end of our second week in Iceland.  Been shooting lots of video and taking tons of photos. We're hiring a car next week and will be traveling all around the ring road that encompasses the island. Things should get more interesting from there. Skagastrond is a nice little fishing town on the North West coast, but we've exhausted all this place has to offer in short order. The weather here is a lot like San Francisco in the Summer. Rolling fog comes in over the mountains occasionally accompanied by strong winds.  

The dashboard troll in the van (way better than a dashboard Jesus if you ask me)

The view from our kitchen.
