Waterfall!

 


This was our last day in Iceland.  We spent some time sailing through a fjord, then stopped for a waterfall break. 







There were some VERY isolated farms!

A little look around Deck 8




Notice the horizontal bands, and see how they affect the waterfall in the next pics.

Dynjandi is pretty isolated out on the Westfjords, but there were still a LOT of people.  Some of our shipmates were set ashore early, for a longer walk to the falls, but we opted to go with the "photography" group.  As soon as we all got ashore, Kiliii challenged us to not just take the same pictures every tourist takes, but to try for some interesting angles or focal points.

Lars' photos first:









And now Sheila's:

She told me earlier that it's perfectly OK to walk on Arctic tundra, which regenerates quickly, unlike Colorado's Alpine tundra.
















I didn't feel I was having much luck with unusual angles, so went with a "human interest" story I'm calling "NatGeo Photog at Work":

And we're off again!

We weren't planning a trip this summer, until one day Lars said "You know what? I've kind of always wanted to go to Greenland!"  And so after a bit of searching online, we found Lindblad Expeditions, which is partnered with National Geographic!  We'll be on the ship National Geographic Resolution, which you can read all about here: https://www.expeditions.com/ships/national-geographic-resolution The ads make it look like a typical cruise ship, but it's much more than than.  Only 138 passengers and 116 crew make for more interaction with the staff, many of whom are photographers and naturalists.  Most trips ashore require boarding Zodiac boats, debarking into the water and splashing ashore in the rubber boots we've ordered delivered to the ship.  There are multiple excursions every day, at varying activity levels to suit everyone.  At the end of the day, right before dinner, the leader of each group does a presentation, so that you get to see what the other...

Difficult choices!

 We've gotten close enough (3 weeks out) that we've started to get questionnaires about what we'd like to do on the cruise.  This is our first hint of what SORT of activities will be offered.  It's a bit curious that they started with activities for Day 12. Here's a slightly-edited version of what we received today (we were kind of giggling over the "elevation gain" parts! Ooh, a whopping 300 feet!?!). Dear Sheila and Norman: We hope you are looking forward to your expedition, Iceland and Greenland: Edge of the Arctic aboard  National Geographic Resolution . Your voyage will be filled with a variety of optional activities for you to choose from, which we would like to begin preparations for in advance. We want to make sure you can arrive on the ship with your main focus on the experiences at hand for the first few days of the voyage. Our excursion options will be offered on a first come, first served basis, and knowing your preferences in advance will help...

Akureyri Botanic Garden

Image
 We spent a couple of hours here today. We'll mostly let the pictures speak for themselves.  The garden began as agricultural land which was set aside in 1910 for the formation of a park, the design of which was entrusted to the Akureyri Park Society, which unusually for its time, was composed entirely of women. The park was officially opened in 1912 and was Iceland's first public park. After subsequent donations of plant collections, the park was officially incorporated as a botanic garden in 1957 run by the municipality of Akureyri. The Café serves sandwiches, soups, pastries, beer, wine.... The Arctic rock garden has alpine and arctic plants from all over the world The tiniest Columbines I've ever seen! Less than 1" across. The bluest blue! Meconopus baileyi, from the Himalayas Veggie soup at the Café
