A strong and persistent smell fills the air, it\u2019s a bit unpleasant at first, but it turns unnoticed once we get use to it. Anna\u2019s idea of boiling eggs using the heat of one of the tiny hot streams scattered all around the place works out and we end up having a great breakfast.<\/div>\n<div>The second biggest geyser explodes and squirts every 10 minutes and that allows us to take plenty of pictures.<\/div>\n<div>We give up waiting for the big geyser to get active after a long time chilling close to it.

It\u2019d be so easy to look for what it is using the campervan\u2019s WiFi. Too easy. So we just drive until we bump into the sign indicating its location and the parking place. We start the hike leaving the camera in the car, guessing that the phones would do the trick.<\/div>\n<div>After walking barely a hundred meters we run back to the camper van to get the camera. Apparently foss means waterfall because right in front of us, invisible from the road, a humongous crack on the earth let 150 cubic meters of water per second fall into a river.<\/div>\n<div>The day has done nothing but start, so we head to a zone called Landmannalaugar. We\u2019ve seen pictures of it and looks amazing. However, since we can\u2019t quite reach the zone without a Super Jeep, we decide to drive around it and see what we find.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Soon enough, we spot a cool looking mountain. We resolve to hike to the top, which takes most of our day. We might have not been able to get into Landmannalaugar as it\u2019s meant to be done, but the sights from this summit were amazing.<\/div>\n<div>On our way to the south we come across the Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull volcano, which erupted in 2010. We commit to learn the proper pronunciation as soon as possible. Another great waterfall, Sk\u00f3gafoss, confirms us the meaning of foss.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The sun is taking ages to set. We visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/blog\/black-sand-beaches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">black sand beach<\/a> of Reynisfjara, where the cliff seems naturally pixelated and some creepy pointy rock pillars emerge from the sea, as if an ancient ocean god tried to grab the cliff with its gigantic claws right before getting petrified.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fun-on-a-black-sand-beach.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"width: 425px; height: 319px;\" title=\"Rock pillars in Reynisfjara Black sand beach\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fun-on-a-black-sand-beach.jpg\" alt=\"Rock pillars in Reynisfjara Black sand beach\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1875\" data-savee-read=\"true\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fun-on-black-sand-beaches.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"width: 425px; height: 319px;\" title=\"The Black Sand beach at Reynisfjara\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fun-on-black-sand-beaches.jpg\" alt=\"The Black Sand beach at Reynisfjara\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1875\" data-savee-read=\"true\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It\u2019s time to go to the east.

The glacier Vatnaj\u00f6kull is immense! We couldn\u2019t help going as close as we could. Chilly. Of course, we are in Iceland.<\/div>\n<div>Cento has driven a lot, and the GPS shows a lake just by the road, so we\u2019ll stop here, eat and stretch.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/jokulsarlon-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"width: 875px; height: 656px;\" title=\"J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n, the great glacier lake in south Iceland\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/jokulsarlon-2.jpg\" alt=\"J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n, the great glacier lake in south Iceland\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1874\" data-savee-read=\"true\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The lake was full of icebergs!
