Iceland: Day 4 - Selfoss + many more hot pots

Today's end point of interest is Husavik, which is where we will be whale watching!

There are more waterfalls in Iceland (I feel sure) than anywhere else in the world (not a fact - just my opinion)! The reason there are so many streams of water has much to do with the amount of snow than melts and the runoff it produces. Some waterfalls we could see from the road, driving Route 1. Others had a small parking lot. And still others were so magnificent hundreds of tourists would travel to see. Here is a small one we found via Google, since our breakfast spot didn't open until 9am

Another Google find was a small bookstore that had be converted into a coffee shop. It was one of our favorite little local spots that we found.

Next we saw one of the more extravagant waterfalls that Iceland has to offer: Selfoss and Dettifoss. They definitely were a sight to see.

Due to all the volcanic activity, there are so many hot pots, geysirs, boiling mud pots, and steam vents. In this area called Hverir we saw it all! It sits at the base of the volcano Namafjall.

Another 'hot pot' featured in Game of Thrones.

A nearby crater: Hverjfall. 1 kilometer wide!!!

A lastly another geothermal pool: Natural Baths of Myvatn.
