Yeah. It is not really like straddling 2 plates there. Think of it like a scar after a big surgery. The National park is on the scar itself. You can measure the plates pulling apart using spots that are distant but there isn’t a spot you can actually tough two plates that way.
Still cool. We were watching snorkelers and divers entering the crystal clear 2 degree water there. We almost signed up for that but $$$
It was pretty warm when we were out and about. 15-17C. Lots of sun in the morning. Some decent rain when we were driving back from Geysir.
I wonder if they have ever had a tornado here.
Yeah. Gullfoss was more impressive than I though. We thought Thingvellir National Park was the best though. That’s where you can measure the plates pulling away 2cm per year
Saw our first glacier today from Gullfoss. Kayaking a glacial lagoon Friday
The BAC (big ass church) and Leif statue.
We spent the morning downtown (after clearing customs, security etc and getting our rental car)
Then we visited a science museum called the Perlan. Pretty cool. I picked out my ice throne for this winter
Pizza in my immediate area is pretty bad now. Local shop is reasonable in price but lame quality. Their subs are ok.
We usually get Papa Gino’s for pizza and use their specials/ deals etc. you can get 2 large cheese for $10.95 each plus we get points
