Eldhraun, Núpsstadur, Jökulsárlón, Hofskirkja

---

The 3rd day we passed through Eldhraun. In 1783 there was a huge eruption with a catastrophic result. A lot of people and animals died.

We stopped in Núpsstadur to take a look at the turf-roofed farm and church. Very nice to see how they lived in the past.

After driving through Skaftafell, we arrived at the Jökulsárlón lagoon with the icebergs drifting to the sea. It's really amazing what you can sea over there... We even saw a lot of seals in the water. After walking back to the superjeep, we got the chance to taste Skyr, which was to me something between yoghurt and cheese.

Thereafter we stopped at Hofskirkja, an old turf church built in 1884. On the pictures you can see the special key to open the door.
