road trip-part 2 from Akureyri to Myvatn




after lunch we left Akureyry heading for Myvatn. The road takes out of the firod, passing near the water: Akureyri water is calm and cold steel color and the view very beautiful. The landscape was endless white snow, and despite the ice on the road, Icelandic drive very scarily fast in their 4x4.
Westopped at Godafoss, a gorgeous waterfall, we had to walk in deep snow to photograph it but the view was worth it!
near Godafoss there are some houses and a hotel: these little spots of color in the white attract my view more than the landscape, as my interest here in doing a residency in Iceland is in how community survie in such extreme landscape
