iceland south shore... see other galleries

The South Shore is roughly the area between Selfoss and Skaftafell on route 1. It takes in Seljalandsfoss, Skogar and along the edge of Myrdalsjokull to Dyrholaey. Possibly the most exciting road we have ever driven along. Those images here that look monochrome are not - the colours are as they were.

These pictures are the first part of the journey we took on the 4th July. The second part of this journey is here.

See the whole journey and our visit in February on our travelatypical flickr gallery.

the museum curator was showing some German lads around the museum at Skogar and he sat and played a couple of German hymns that they "should" know, but didn't - he seemed rather disgusted with them.
