Here’s a batch of extra photos from the trip. Not necessarily great, they don’t tell a story but they help to tell the whole story.
Gerduberg Cliffs
The Gerduberg cliffs, amazing basalt columns on Iceland’s Snaefellsnes peninsula
Stranger Danger
Seals keeping an eye on me at Ytritunga
UFO Clouds
These clouds look like UFOs hovering over the mountains.
The Black Church
Iceland’s Black Church or Budakirkja. Not a huge draw, but might as well see it while we’re here.
Get There From Here
A lot of nothing out here on the Snaefellsness Peninsula
Stykissholmur Ferry
Ferry
Chamber of Commerce got us!
The Stykkisholmur Chamber of Commerce pranked us by getting this "lighthouse" in the attraction guide. Pretty much a non-starter, but a nice panoramic view of the out islands and the town.
Barefoot
Tourists without waterproof footwear take off their shoes and walk in freezing water up the slot canyon to Gljufurarfoss.

Heading Out
Shelby stops for a quick photo on the way out of Gljufurarfoss.
A Bunch of Horses
Since there’s a bunch of horses, let’s stop for a quick photo and bring the tourist herds in.
The Herd Effect
The minute we stopped to photograph any group of Icelandic horses, a horde of other cell phone and iPad-toting tourists stopped to get the same shot.
