More Iceland
The famous basaltic crystals at Reynisfjara Beach...south coast. This place is in quite a few movies and TV series including Game of Thrones and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (the remake).



Some Icelandic horses. These horses were brought over from western Europe about 900-1000 years ago by the Vikings. They have a unique gate called a tolt that only Icelandic horses do...... probably because of their particular body proportions. They look a bit like english shire horses but quite a bit shorter...short and stocky for the cold and snow. No horses are allowed to be brought to Iceland and if an Icelandic horse leaves the island it cannot return (disease control). These don't have crazy manes but google them and you'll see some very Fabian ones!



Here is one near a small fishing village NW of Reykjavik in the town of Akranes.




A shot from the house I rented....


A friend and I hiking Sólheimajökull Glacier. I was the only one that drank the melt water...don't know why..it's probably the freshest, cleanest water I'll ever drink in my life.
