Pretty scenery as we sailed into Reykjavic in the early morning hours.
Mom and me at the top of the world overlooking Reykjavic in one direction and Icelandic landscape the other. Notice the low clouds behind us.
This is how we got to the top of the world. We were part of a three vehicle tour and we rode in this jacked up Ford Excursion. Our tour guide, named Gummi - see the license plate? - had this shipped over from a dealer in Norfolk, Viriginia. Mom and I are inside the truck and I'm waving.
One of the power plants that converts the geothermal energy into electricity. This engineering was very impressive. The entire country has a network of giant steam pipes that run to and from these powerplants to homes & businesses. Almost, but not all, of the homes in Iceland get their heat and power from geothermal sources.
This is me at an overlook with several thermal vents behind me. You can also see some of the steam pipes going up the mountain.
