Akureyri and a long sightseeing tour

18 hours of daylight now (roughly 04:00 to 22:00), so awake early. Sailing very slowly as the ship has just entered the fjord for Akureyri. (Akureyri showing the fish factory). Tactic of the trip was to go to furthest point and work back so after 90 minutes we arrived at a desolate “muddy” looking landscape with steam rising from geysers and the smell of sulphur when downwind. Next onto the lava fields left from eruptions thousands of years ago.We followed the shortest walking trail through oddly shaped lava columns. Then lunch (salmon and salad) at the lake, followed by a walk along the shore of what is the largest lake in Iceland?Noticed what looked like with craters created by bursting lava bubbles. The last stop was a magnificent waterfall in full flow. The Gudass falls are very busy at the height of the season so we were lucky to be the only group there.Arrived back at ship 16:45. Pictures when internet connection will allow. Czytaj więcej
