Day 11 - Drive to Egilstadir

The drive

This was the longest drive yet in Iceland. It was around 600km and about 7.5hrs long.

The drive

Eyafjallajokull (English pronunciation: ei-ya-fyat-LA-yer-kitle)

Our first stop was to see the huge volcano that exploded in 2010.

Iceberg lagoon

Our second stop on this drive was to see the Iceberg lagoon. It is a huge lagoon filled with floating icebergs that were pushed down from the glacier over hundreds of years (around 10cm a year).

Here are some pictures:
