Hraunfossar (Lava Falls). This was unlike any waterfall we have seen before. Glacial melt water flows beneath the solidified Hallmundarhraun lava field (from a volcanic eruption circa 800 AD), and emerges from the face of the rock cliffs over the course of a kilometer. The water forms beautiful waterfalls, gorges, and turquoise pools as it tumbles into the Hvita (White) River. It was a humbling sight. - IMG 2687

Deildartunguhver The water is 212° Fahrenheit here (100° Celsius). It is piped to other communities via 74 km of pipe. The water reaches Akranes in 24 hours, and by then it is 163° F (73° C). The North Atlantic Current and Irminger Current moderate the island's temperature, making it warmer than other areas of similar latitude. - IMG 2658
