Iceland

What with it being unusually cold, the Jarðböð thermal pools in Mývatn are a good place to warm up.   The whole zone is alive with geo-thermal activity, sulphurous vents pumping out hot gases everywhere.  This photo was taken at around 14.30 and the Sun has pretty much had enough of today already.


You must remember to continually sumerge your head to melt the ice crystals that have grown on your head. Real-time frosted tips inside the ride.


After spending a night in Egilsstaðir we took the Embulance over the high pass and down to Seyðisfjörður where we are waiting for the boat to arrive and take us to the Faroe Islands.


 Due to bad weather it has been delayed, we expect to leave at some point on Friday.

Luckily Seyðisfjörður is a beautiful small fishing port and a nice place to hold tight until our ride arrives. There is a chance we will be grounded in the Faroe Islands if the the weather plays up, I can think of worse places to be stranded...
