The abundance of waterfalls in Iceland was truly astonishing. Simply driving form point A to point B may reveal dozens of waterfalls seen along the cliffs from the road. Two of the more famous waterfalls in South Iceland are off the ring road between Hvollsvollur and Vik, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss.

Seljalandsfoss is a 60 m tall waterfall off of of a rock cliff facing.

It is pretty skinny but the height creates a force which produces quite a bit of mist, and it's easy to get wet walking near it. 

Some shots with the Nikon:

Next was Skógafoss, one of the bigger waterfalls in the country--a 25m wide and 60m tall fall of the Skoga River. 

Hiking upstream from Skogafoss along the Skoga River reveals waterfall after waterfall within the stunning green river gorge, flanked by large mossy boulders. It was like a scene out of Lord of the Rings. The kids were tired of hiking so they went back to the car as Lindsay and I enjoyed the scenery.

Back on the road eastward towards Vik, we made several stops to take in the beauty.

We found this old turf house leading into a cave where they used to store hay. 

The Lizzy Lamb found some lambs--which is not hard, they're everywhere.

We eventually made it to the beautiful little seaside village of Vík í Mýrdal.
