Continuing to bum around in the area just south of the Eyjafjallajökull, after the eruption, but before the cleanup.

Some pictures from a drive near Eyjafjallajokull a few months ago -- just after it stopped booming, but before the area got cleaned up.

Here's another view of the Esja, about 320 degrees around (the missing 40 is just a wall of rock).

Sfeerbeelden from the ski/snowboard/crosscountry/rastafari trip to Akureyri with CCP's Fun Division, mid-March. Back then the ice was still firmly in Iceland.

Well, as far as locations to have dinner go, this is certainly one of the more exotic spots I've grabbed a bite at! It's only reachable by boat and it looked like pure Indiana Jones when we approached. It only got better as the sun set and the torches took over. Rock on CCP!!

Le win.

If the sun was in the sky at Thingvellir, and it was gone at Gullfoss, where did we enjoy the sunset? Why, there's only one item left on the Golden Circle Tour: Geysir of course! The ground was covered in a thick layer of ice, the hot water was producing steam and clouds like crazy, and reflecting and shining through all this was the wonderful orange sunset in some of the purest skies in the world. This was without a doubt one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, and I'm not sure I managed to convey just how amazing it was in these pictures. But without any further comment: enjoy nonetheless!

Ok, time for the Winter Edition of the golden circle tour! You may remember the Gullfoss waterfall in the fall. I revisited this spot on January 2nd, 2010, when the tour guide estimated it be "about minus 25". The suffering I endure for this blog! But the view was worth it...

The last two nights we've had some faint Northern Light above Reykjavik, much to everyone's surprise. Here's a few pics, they're not that great, but well, I was caught off guard. Read: I have no idea (yet) how to photograph these things properly.

The beach near Vik has some really great views!

Time to get out of the city again and onto yet another tourist bus trip!
One of the sights we stopped at was just the tip of the glacier called Sólheimajökull. This was basically just to get an idea of what it looks like; for a closer look you could do a glacial walk trip, but I'll wait with that until it's a bit warmer -- it'll be cold enough as is.

Early November the days were still long enough to get a bus to Mount Esja and do a little hike. Esja is the ridge you could spot in the background on previous pics, and since it's only about 1.000 meters, it's a healthy walk but nothing too crazy, ahem.
