Here are some selected images from my first 10 days or so in Iceland. Sorry about the file size and pixel size, but I don't have time to make them smaller! Sorry, also, that I don't have time to make them more of a slide show.

There's a lot of clicking to look at the whole batch, so perhaps you can look through them over several days. I should be able to upload photos more often now that I've found a machine that can connect to both my camera and the Internet and that doesn't get much use because its owner usually goes home pretty early.

None of these photos have been edited in any way.

1. The Blue Lagoon, where we recuperated from our jet lag. The whole lake is one giant hot tub!
   
   
   
2. A view from a cinder cone we hiked on the way north.
   
   
   
3. Yours Truly, trying to look intrepid, at the top of the cinder cone.
   
   
   
4. The guys' bedroom, with my den in the corner.
   
   
   
5. Midnight with an Icelandic horse trailor in the foreground, at our house on the farm.
   
   
   
6. Our house on the farm.
   
   
   
7. The backs of some turf houses. Each house top is about eight feet high.
   
   
   
8. Close-up of a turf wall, with turves on top of rocks. This is what we try to find after it's fallen down, rotted away, and not used for 1,000 years.
   
   
   
9. View of Skagafjordur from our lab building, looking west.
   
   
   
10. The Lobsterman Diggeth.
    
    
    
11. Hof on a nice day, looking north to Holar.
    
    
    
12. Hof, looking east.
    
    
    
13. The farm where we're staying.
    
    
    
14. Skagafjordur, facing south from our lodging area.
    
    
    
15. Flowers and lichen on the hill by our farm house.
    
    
    
16. Sunlowering at 11:30 pm.
    
    
    
17. Horses in the pasture near where we have been working. Holar is in the background.
    
    
    
18. A small cindercone.
    
    
    
19. Waterfalls coming out from under a lava field.
    
    
    
20. Sheep in a lava field sinkhole.
    
    
    
21. Entranceway to the lava tube cave. This is big - we climbed down a ladder to get into this area, which is a collapsed roof of the lava tube itself.
    
    
    
22. Ice formation in the lava tube cave. The ice formation is about eight inches long.
    
    
    
23. Getting small to get back out (this is how we came in).
    
    
    
24. Thingvellier, where the Althing met.
    
    
    
25. Stokkur, a little geyser, next to Geysir.
    
    
    
26. Stokkur just before it blows.
    
    
    
27. Gullfoss waterfalls.
    
    
    
28. The road from Holar to our farm house.
    
    
    
29. Northwind blows the clouds into our valley. (Look how low they come! They were creepy!)
    
    
    
30. Possible loom weights.
    
    
    
31. The computer lab at Holar.
