Just outside Vík lies the Dyrhólaey bird cliff. Previously, you could drive almost all the way to the lighthouse, but due to the increasing flow of tourists, a new parking area has been created. From there, it’s a half-hour walk to the lighthouse. A strong, fresh wind accompanies us. We hike up the rocky path to the base of the lighthouse. The Dyrhólaey rock has two arches through which the seawater flows. From the high rocky point, we have a magnificent view. As we walk back to the parking lot, we see a group of people gathered. It turns out that puffins are sitting on the rocks. The birds fly out to find food. Landing in the strong wind is not easy for every puffin. Some young birds simply drop the last bit of the way.

With umbrellas in hand, we walk to the old geyser Geysir. This Geysir is the namesake of all geysers and used to erupt every half hour up to 60 meters high. Presumably, due to the large amounts of soap powder used to trigger the eruptions, the geyser has fallen dormant. The nearby geyser Strokkur is now the star attraction. Every five minutes, this geyser shoots a stream of hot water 30 meters into the air. An impressive spectacle. Around the geysers are various pools of boiling water and mud. This display is accompanied by the penetrating smell of sulfur fumes from the pools.
