In the early morning hours while on the ferry from Denmark, we could spot the the first peaks of Iceland still covered in snow!
Well – welcome to Iceland!
When we arrived at the harbor of Seyðisfjörður, we noticed a sincere concern of the Icelandic people that we help to preserve their nature and stay on the marked tracks. Which of course, is also in our interest.
Heading towards the south of Iceland we passed wide lava fields covered with small flowers. Facing all the snow that still covered these fields in many spots, we couldn’t help thinking of our friends in Germany who are finally enjoying 38°C of summer. Over here, dark clouds cover the sky and rain falls from time to time… but that’s the beauty of the north and it definitely has its own fascination.
