Reykjavík, February 9

Here are a few more images as my time here goes on!
This is what motivates us to go to the pool!

We are starting to see the sun more and more often!

Everyone is happy in Reykjavík

Blizzard, yikes!
Partial sun along with a lot of fog one morning!
On February 7 I went to visit Nautholsvik, a geothermal beach in Reykjavík, and Perlan (The Pearl), a museum/viewpoint and restaurant overlooking the city.
This gets filled up more in the summer - with hundreds of thousands of gallons of geothermal water
View from Perlan, looking over Strokkur, a man-made geyser

Some statues outside of Perlan
Inside, there is a fountain/tiny geysir that erupts every few minutes

I'm not sure what this is - the recording in English was broken. However, it's not just a sundial, since apparently at the time I took this it was approximately halfway between "Midnight" and "Fear".
