Started to leave Jökulsárlón at 6am as we could not get that much sleep.

Drove about 90 minutes West to Kirkjubæjarklaustur. A small town of just 120. We filled up the gas tank and then waited for the Gas stations shop to open. We had a hotdog and a cup of hot chocolate. Here is where I found out that my hiking boots had broken down.

Something we really needed from the crazy cold last night. Rested for a bit then headed 45 minutes East to Skaftafell National Park. Here we hiked about 45 minutes in heavy rain to the famous Svartifoss.

At the Skaftafell National Park Parking area. Real wet & foggy.

Some waterfall on the way

 

Not Svartifoss!

Svartifoss surrounded with awesome rock formations

Would have been a good shot if we had good weather. We headed back to the car right after. Drenched in rain, my rain jacket has failed me. After 9 years, its time for it to retire.

We then drove 170 West to Skógar where we checked in and stayed the night.

We then walked outside our hostel where we took pictures of Skógafoss.

Skógafoss is one of Iceland’s biggest waterfalls. Over 25m.

Near the top of Skógafoss

As the sun was setting, we headed to Seljalandsfoss about 20 minutes away.

3 waterfalls in a day.

Headed back, had dinner, and bed.
