We rented a car and drove a few hours to Vik, on the south coast. It's a very sleepy town, with one open restaurant (another burger). Getting there was fun.
We saw a few waterfalls, glaciers, the famous volcano, and an ash cloud from all the ash being blown around. It was bad. I can only imagine how bad it was with the eruption.
The volcano did some damage. We saw construction guys still digging out the streams from ash build up. There are miles of dead zones as you drive past. It looks so harmless now.
Tomorrow, we head north to see cliffs and more some waterfront towns.
Sone pictures from the phone:
You can barely see the rainbow. I have better pictures on my camera. For context, the volcano is right behind this waterfall. We saw a postcard with lava flowing near this same waterfall.
Famous iconic church at Vik.

The puffin from last night's dinner. There's some puffin arranged at 6 o'clock. It was ok, a bit rubbery but a nice bit of smoke and salt. But, when mixed with the other stuff on the plate, mainly blueberries, it was lost. Done and done.
A few more days left....
