More beautiful views of the day @NottsHigh

Finally we visited the glacier. Unfortunately due to the high wind speed we could not go on to the glacier. But we could walk and experience some pretty high wind speeds @NottsHigh

[Geography at Nottingham High School @Geography_NHS]

Waterfall 3 was Skogafoss @NottsHigh Beautiful blue skies but strong winds leading to lots of wind chill.

A short walk to find waterfall 2 of the day

After the power station we headed south to Seljalandsfoss. WOW @NottsHigh
