Iceland - Day 6

Godafoss, the Waterfall of the Gods, is nicknamed by locals "The Beauty", as opposed to Dettifoss, "The Beast." Its name has to do with the conversion of Iceland to Christianity in the year 1000, when all the old Nordic gods were thrown in the water as a symbolic act of conversion.


Heading north into Akureyri and Tröllaskagi, the Troll Peninsula...



Krap, funny (for us) name for very yummy Icelandic slush...




Trolls in Akureyri...



Almost midnight in Ólafsfjördur... with focus on the ground and on the sky...



It's past midnight and there's no need to turn on the lights in the house we're renting. I'm not sleepy at all, but I have to go to bed... tomorrow it's the Artic Circle... Good night!
