The Hidden People

We came across this captivating old house on private farm land, forbidden entry.

No doubt too many of us compelled to explore further. The sign reads; Drangshlíð. Read more about the saga here on this persons site, 

 A peculiar rock stands alone in South-Iceland below the beautiful Eyjafjöll mountains with a couple of elf-stories linked to it. And seeing that I am a great fan of elf-stories, then I want to tell you about the elves in this rock, which is called Drangurinn in Drangshlíð: Eyjafjöll mountains.

Waterfalling

In the South Island, driving parallel to the coast there are so many places where water falls through the splitting geology. Natural springs and glacier-melt perform their power, falling through canyons and over edges, along their everchanging course. Iceland is an Island that could be driven around in 2 days but that would be impossible to do because there's so much to do and see in this unspoilt, pristine natural terrain-scape. We covered only 55 miles and it took 11 hours of jumping out the car and hiking on trails to see a fraction of the dramatic land forms.

With mega amounts of tourists now flooding into Iceland to view the land here as it may have once existed in their polluted regions, I fear eventually we will bring our mishandling of the earth's natural resources to the warming, higher latitudes of the planet.
