Iceland

Meeting in Reykjavik, Always wanted to go to Oceland.
.


Meeting dinner at mineral hot springs. Blue Lagoon.



Whale watching after the meeting.


Golden loop tour.


First stop Gullfoss


Means Golden Falls




Strokkur.  One of the geothermal basins in iceland.

Nice, but not much compared to Yellowstone.


Strokkur does erupt in a cool way.  Starts with a bubble.  Got the perfect shot.


Thingvellir, home of the oldest parliament.  Site where the Vikings met.  Very cool.




Iceland is beautiful.  Interesting place.  Much more touristy than expected.
