Last Saturday, we visited the south cost with three Irish people who work with us at the Icelandic Forest Service.
So we rented a Ford Transit where can sit 9 people. We nearly stocked it in the mud to get there.
We went to see Sólheimajökull glacier.
Cascades en tout genre dont Skogarfoss, la deuxieme. We saw a lot of waterfalls. Skogarfoss is the second one.
Les falaises sont le domaine des oiseaux. Nous en avons vu beaucoup: mouettes tridactyles, cancards arlequins, eiders a duvet, goelands argentes, goelands bruns, grands labbes, fulmars boreaux (photo ci-dessous). Nous avons cherche des colonies de macareux sans succes.
Here there are many different kind of birds, especially ducks, gulls and other sea birds. On the picture below, it is a nothern fulmar. We looked for puffins but did not find them.
Saxifraga oppositifolia, experte en terrain hostile, par exemple sur les rochers. This plant grows very well onrocks and cliffs.
Une maison troglodyte. A troglodyte habitation.
Les celebres moutons islandais : tels Attila, la ou ils passent l´herbe ne repousse pas ! The famous icelandic sheeps: where they have browsed, none vegetation can grow for a long time.
Enfin, la mer, les falaises et les plages... And now, sea, cliffs and beaches...
