1213. Jökullsárlón 4.
In the ice you can see all kinds of colours and hues.
Glacier ice has been so compressed that there are no air molecules left in it. Water molecules without air absorb all colours except blue.

1212. Jökullsárlón 3.
The black stripes are ash deposits from volcanic eruptions. From the thickness of the stripes and the space between them scientists can calculate the age of the ice.

1211. Jökullsárlón 2.
On the ice there were several birds. There is one just right of the triangle.
Apparently they find something to eat there.

1210. Jökullsárlón.
Jökull means glacier in Icelandic and lón means lagoon.
Here the ice that broke away from the glacier forms a beautiful lake.

1207. Arrival in the port of Seydisfjordur.
The road from Seydisfjordur to Egilsstadir is quite steep in a couple of places.
Cyclists are the first to disembark, so you have to overtake them on this road.
I felt pity for them, there was a strong headwind and it rained of and on.

1206. Downtown Thorshavn.
You have the possibility of disembarking for about an hour.
I don't know if this is the smallest capital in the world, but it will surely be in the top-ten.
In this picture you get a good idea of the size of the Norröna. There would be enough standing-room on the ferry for the complete population of the Faroe-islands (49,000)

Grass-coverd roofs and brighly-coloured houses. There are even a few trees.
On the Faroe-islands you hardly see any trees.
