Morning in Seyðisfjörður - Decided to take it easy and start late. While Vaishali was getting ready I went for a walk. Found a nice waterfall on the other side of the lagoon. Didn’t hike up to it but was a good walk to get some photos.


Drove to Egilsstaðir and picked up some breakfast at Netto.

Driving through the east fjords - This was my most favorite drive so far. The road hugging the fjords with the mountains meeting the ocean - it was super picturesque. I agree with Vaishali that this area was beautiful but we can see similar views in other places. What we drove through yesterday and the Mývatn volcano geothermal area is something we get to see rarely. Stopped at many places to take pictures. Spotted seals at a couple of places.









Got to Höfn a little later than planned. Ate lunch at Pakkhus. Scallops in garlic butter, caviar, and pancakes were the appetizers, and both of us had langoustine soup. I had an Arctic pale ale.




After lunch, we went for a walk around the harbor area. Interestingly they have a scale model of the Solar system in this area. We walked out to Jupiter. The remaining planets were further out in the town. We didn’t go searching for them. This was the first place where we saw the glaciers in all their enormity. Can’t wait to see one of them up close tomorrow.


Guesthouse Skálafell - This guesthouse is on a functioning sheep farm. Trails start here and go to the Skalafell Glacier. I went on a little 2-mile hike. Didn’t make it to the glacier but will be going there for tomorrow’s kayak activity.

Had dinner at the farm. V had Asparagus soup and I had salmon.
