Once I made it off the ship...I saw right away what I want to photograph before the hordes of people come and dot the landside- the Seyðisfjörður Waterfalls. As stated in the website, Seydisfjordur had, in 2020, rain! There was 569mm of cumulative rainfall in 5 days!!! There was a landslide and that landslide destroyed 10 buildings, most around the Buðarárfoss Waterfall. Iceland's glaciers are melting. Every year Iceland loses appriximately 40 square km of ice because of global warming. Seydisfjordur has fewer than 700 residents but lots of tourists.

Ranargata is the tiny street leading to Blue Church paved with stones painted in rainbow colours in Seydisfjordur, the town and municipality in the Eastern Region of Iceland at the innermost point of the fjord of the same name. Surrounded by mountains with the most prominent Mt. Bjolfur to the west and Strandartindur to the east, the town is well known for its old wooden buildings and the remnants of urban street configurations. Seydisfjordur, Iceland. The first Blue Church was built in 1882, moved and damaged by weather, rebuilt and damed by fire and rebuilt again.

yes! It is a little colder in Iceland!

Once back we went for supper at the Chef's Table
