Akranes and Snaefellsnes peninsula

Quiet and well protected harbor of Akranes, where Danielle met many other sailors and helpful locals in the two weeks alone there

Going up into the mountains and toward the snaefellsnes glacier

No more progress due to the snow on the road

No view towards the glacier

Lovely next morning - visiting the imposing Gerðuberg Cliffs

Nice view from up there

Only one hour later, the weather turned again to rain

Lovely Svöðufoss

Funny Hraunfossar - the water flowing out of a laval tunnel on many different places...

...and mixing with the green glacier water

Hraunfossar

Walking up Grábrók - an old volcano

View to the neighboring volcano

Flowers growing every where, even when there is no soil

Westerly point of snaefellsnes peninsula

Old lava fields

More flowers on the old lava

Svörtuloft lighthouse - which we passed on the boat two days ago

Colorful landscape

Lóndrangar lava rocks

There live almost 60'000 icelandic horses in Iceland and it is forbidden to import other breeds

Akranes lighthouse - also used as an art exhibition place for local artists

View towards Akrafjall mountain

Another long d... to-do list during Ben's absence

Due to rainy weather the first days, it was not possible to do the painting work on the boat - time for a lot of knitting

Evening stroll along the shore - always watching out for " attacking" birds

Stranded jellyfishes

A huge swiss sailing vessel, visiting with crew

A short hike up to Akrafjall mountain

Eye of the wind, a traditional sailing boat. They try to use almost never the engine

Going for a ride?

For sure :-)

Unexpected volcanic eruption - nice view from the boat

Leaving alone for Keflavik to pick up Ben after his flight back from Switzerland

Lovely and quiet day

Crossing again the path of several whales

Arrived just in time and Ben was able to pick up the lines - staying here for a week do to stormy weather...
