The water was so still and you could hear the icebergs floating into each other, as well as the ocean waves off to the left (on the other side of the bridge which is not in the picture).

Lagoon full of icebergs breaking off Vatnajokull- went there this evening for sunset and will drive through again in the morning on the way to the very eastern part of Iceland.

There were several seals swimming around and they were very curious. Only about 4 other people were at the lagoon when we were there.

Here's the glacier tip of Vatnajokull that dumps out about a 15 min walk behind the hotel.

62m waterfall- there are steps to the top- no guardrails- makes it kind of dizzy to look down. There's a chest of gold behind the falls but I didn't find it. :(
