Just arrived at the blue lagoon.




Had a great time at the blue lagoon.




Birthday cake time





It doesn't taste that bad!

It looks delicious - considering it's been buried in the ground for 6 months!




We're now heading for the Blue Lagoon and should be there for 6pm.

Time for some rotten shark ....


This is all starting to look like "Scott of the Antarctic"!


On the glacier



Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go ....



Ice maidens and Hanse the glacier guide



Happy Birthday, Teya!


Driving across the lava lakes

Looking at the Ice Lagoon



Can't think that the Titanic would have liked this!




Fun in the snow!


We're somewhere over the rainbow ....

.... but where is the Yellow Brick Road?





And it's a 10 from Len!

On the Svinafellsjokull Glacier




The snout of the Svinafellsjokull glacier, currently retreating at a rate of 100m a year.


Ice, madam?





We appear to have got the seal of approval!

Looks a bit cold for a swim, but then who am I to judge! (Ed)



Where is the pot of gold?

Behind that slope, Mr Speed!  Be quick now if you want to find it. (Ed)


Taking photos at the ice lagoon ...





Big improvement in the weather today
