Magnificent Dettifoss

Look how close we were to the falls - unlike in the U.S., there are no barriers.

Devil's Kitchen

Crater

I just thunk this were pretty

The first and last dinosaur in Iceland

Lava field

Glacier

Kittiwake colony

We saw rainbows in the distance all day.

Deildartunguhver - Europe's largest hot spring

Hraunfossar waterfalls

Cows we met on the road - I even petted one and got cow nose bleech on my perfect little hand.

Abandoned herring factory which was open only two years in the 40's before the herring disappeared. It will now be famous for the place that I peed outdoors (I know, information overload)

Picking berries and a view of our fellow traveler's better sides.

Marshmallow field

Three of us hiked from our hotel to this waterfall which we named "Mushroomfoss" because we are fun guys.

Dave's happiest moment in two weeks. He finally found his beloved peanut butter. He is a man of simple tastes - look at what he married.

Visitors to Iceland are asked to plant a tree to help reforest the island. We chose larch and Sitka spruce I hope some of them survive.

This is how clear the water is everywhere - what a clean country, we never saw any trash or debris anywhere.

This is the site that has been determined to be Erik the Red's residence and birthplace of Leif Erikson

Look at all those swans . . . they come here from Europe to molt and there are thousands of them.

We clum to the top of this holy 'mountain'. Whilst clumming, you are not supposed to talk (oh, the horror!!!!) or look back and when you reach the top you make three wishes.

Standing on a glacier

The only hydrogen filling station in the world. They have three buses powered by hydrogen and hope to be totally fuel self-sufficient by 2010

The Blue Lagoon spa

Land's End . . . View of fissure where tectonic plates join.

Group photo . . . Oh, that's right, we forgot to have one taken.
