Live bubbling lava and hot sulfuric steam springs.  View is astonishing the smell not so much.

Myvatan Nature Baths

What a great break in day for us.  We  spent nearly 2 hours at the baths, met people from all over  the globe and even had hail fall on us  while  in these wonderful warm natural waters.  Not to mention the beauty surrounding us on all sides!

After  the pools we headed  to Stöðvarfjörður in the Eastern Fjords to find our Airbnb for the night.

Along the way we found these two Whooper Swans
