Photo /users/aendr/whiterabbit/679 Photo /users/aendr/whiterabbit/680 This is a waterfall called Seljalandsfoss. "Foss" in an Icelandic word means waterfall. The water falls over a former sea cliff, though we are quite a way inland. Iceland's a growing country... Photo /users/aendr/whiterabbit/681
Photo /users/aendr/whiterabbit/682 I liked the way the sun shone over the falls. Photo /users/aendr/whiterabbit/683 The falling water has eroded away part of the cliff leaving a walkway behind the falls, apparently. I say apparently because Ganesh has just discovered how icy the steps are and we decided it was not safe to try. Even the handles of these steps are covered in ice.

The moss is up to a foot deep, grey when it hasn't rained, going green after rain. The blur is due to the speed we are travelling at. We were going to Kirkjubæjarklaustur (which we never managed to pronounce successfully). Kirkjubæjarklaustur is famous because, when there was a massive volcanic eruption from the volcano Laki, which created the Eldhraun lava field, wiping out farms and communities, the congregation at Kirkjubæjarklaustur church prayed and held a mass. The lava stopped just 2 km from their village. Though the village was spared, the toxic ash which covered Iceland after that poisoned the grass and much of the livestock died. There was a terrible famine and a fifth of the population of Iceland died. The eruption affected most of the Northern Hemisphere and it is speculated that it caused the crop failure which preceded the French Revolution.

Photo /users/aendr/whiterabbit/931 Dead week is the week when High School students dress up in costumes.
