From Vik it’s about another two hours to drive to Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach; we weren’t going to bother as we’d heard there were no icebergs, but then Margaret saw a recent photo from someone that confirmed it was worth the trip … there were a lot of icebergs in the lagoon but not too many had made it to the beach, but we got some good views:
I think my favorite place in Iceland is the Black Beach near Vik (“Reynisfjara”) and we stayed three nights at the nearby Black Beach Suites; here are photos from both Reynisfjara and the other Black Beach in Vik on the other side of Reynisdranger – the same rock formation is seen in the water from both sides, though the different angles make it look different.
The final pictures are returning to Reynisfjara when the wind was wild and stirring up very aggressive waves (as well as throwing hail pellets at us!), and views of Reynisfjara from Dyrhólaey
Of course there’s water everywhere in Iceland, and we repeated visits to a number of waterfalls that we’ve seen before, as well as returning to Geysir which was very helpfully repeating about every six minutes so we didn’t have to wait long!
