Goðafoss

Day 5 started with the most miserable I was in the entire time we were in Iceland.  When we reached our first stop, it was cold and drizzly.  It quickly switched to rainy.  Actually, it got so bad that, rather than trying to hit some of potentially more interesting views at river level, I instead went back to the nearby gift shop/cafe and got myself a winter hat (complete with puffins) and a hot chocolate.  By the time I was done with that, it had cleared up to some extent, but there wasn't time to try some of those other views.

This first image is below the main falls, which you can see in the background.

Here are the main falls, one of the most photographed (probably) in Iceland.

Skútustaðagígar

Read the sign.  It tells you all about this location.  Actually, that's a good tip whenever you travel.  Take pictures of signs.  They tell you where you are and what locals feel is important for you to know.

This is a cropped version of the above sign to make it easier to read the information.

Námafjall Hverir

This is an other-worldly area.  It's been decades since I was in Yellowstone, but my impression is that the two are similar in places and looks.  Here, it's full of steam vents, mineral colored fields, mud pools, and the ever-present smell of sulfur.  Actually, some of the mud pools you can see below are probably the same sorts that created the pseudo-craters seen above (in the first one after the sign, for example).

Fjallakaffi

Here's one of the places we stayed.  You can see the traditional turf roof and several of the animals wandering around.  There used to be an arctic fox that wandered around, but it died in the last year.

The pig is munching down on the grasses next to the building.

Here's a juvenile reindeer.  They are actually the same species as caribou and were brought to Iceland around the time of the American Revolution, but for some reason only survived in one small part of the country.
