Today we left Hofn for the Foss Hotel Nupar, which is the one in the lava field made out of shipping containers. It is actually the nicest place we have been in. Today we continued to be stymied in our attempts to touch a glacier. It turns out that glaciers create large rivers in the heat of summer, and we didn't want to swim. Now to the pictures:
This is glacier bay. Icebergs from the glacier.
We finally found a hunk of ice from the glacier and climbed down to touch it. It turns out that wet rocks, seaweed and icebergs are all very slick. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of two old guys falling down, hopefully they don't exist.
Kevin wanted a picture of his feet to post on Facebook. Unfortunately, I wouldn't get out of the way.
No new news on the volcano. We are headed back to Reykjavik tomorrow. Here is the view from out hotel tonight.
I hope the two falling old guys are okay! I love the feet picture, and am glad you got to touch a glacier. That may be a once in a lifetime event!
