Iceland 6 – More Ice and Churches

Today was our third and last visit to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.  As we saw yesterday, the ice blocks here change constantly. There was so much ice here today that it was hard to find isolated chunks to make the kind of photos I had envisioned (as seen in the two lower left images above).

We then stopped at a couple of church locations, one in Vik and the other in Hof.  The first was a traditional “turf church” that was built partly buried in the ground, then covered with turf to form natural insulation, and surrounded by a mounded, ancient grave site.  The second church down the road was a more modern version.  Unfortunately, I neglected to catch the name of either — the names are so long and complex that they are silicon to my memory, slipping away as soon as they are voiced.
