Iceland: South east coast (Pt.3 )

Day three in Iceland started with an exploration of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon – an incredible visual display.

According to Wikipedia, the glacier is situated at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, and developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

The day flew by afterwards. We continued our way along the south east coast, pulling over every time a neat photo opportunity presented itself.

At times, we faced winds around 80 km/hour. The photo below was snapped at one of the more gusty locations on Ring Road.

And before we got to our hotel in Egilsstaðir, we stopped over in a little village called Reyðarfjörður. That’s where we picked up some groceries, and filled the car.  To my surprise, I also spotted more elf homes!

  1. Again wonderful photos! The elf homes were really cute, and the sheep with the one horn is my favourite. What an adventure you both are having! 🙂

  2. I’m really enjoying following your adventures. The photos are spectacular! I especially like the landscape photos and I enjoyed the photo of the elf houses too. I will be waiting to read about day four of your Iceland adventures.
