Today we toured around the Seyðisfjörður area, which provided breathtaking vistas of the fjords (once the fog lifted) and countless waterfalls cascading down the hillsides. We visited Egilsstaðir, then drove to Hallormsstaðaskógur, Iceland’s largest forest. From there, we looked at the third highest waterfall in Iceland, Hengifoss which eventually drains down into Lagarfljót, the third largest lake in Iceland. We also visited a small church which was once home to a carved wooden door from the 12th century, now housed in a museum. We also visited Skriðuklaustur, the mansion built by author Gunnar Gunnarson. Afterward we wound our way back down to Seyðisfjörður where we boarded our ship and departed Iceland. Tomorrow we will visit the Faroe Islands, stopping for the day in Tórshavn.
