Akureyri, Iceland - Godafoss & Myvatn - June 22, 2009

Updating videos now. Had an incredible day in Akureyri and Myvatn, and wound up on a wonderful excursion and discovery due to a search for a loaf of Hverabraud / Bjarnarsflagbraud (bread made in geothermal underground ovens).


Below, a Black-tailed Godwit. One of 11 seen today. We've been able to get really close to them.
Mom at Godafoss, a historic waterfall on the way to Myvatn. In 1000AD, the chieftain who decided Iceland should become Christian, tossed his pagan idols into the falls after making the conversion.

Me at Godafoss.
