I believe that when you travel, you need to be open to experiences that "bump into you." These are almost always unexpected, and are often the most memorable experiences of a trip. Well, it happened here, in Seydisfjordur. Seydisfjordur exists because a Ferry from Norway lands here. Small town. Mostly not much happens here. So folks make their own fun and that fun "bumped into us!"

To get to Seydisfjordur, we head East along a narrow paved road, over a high pass, and down toward the deep narrow fjord where the town sits.

A priori, the attraction is the road and the waterfalls along it.

DigitalQuixote > Road to Seydisfjordur: Recall, we had just fought our way back along the brutal road from Dettifoss and Selfoss and are out on the main ring road highway. We pull off at a "scenic turnout" and find these tall towers of rocks reminiscent of the Inuit Inukshuks of the Pacific Northwest US. It seems we're not the only ones who have stopped here, and others before us have stacked these neat tributes to their presence.

DigitalQuixote > Road to Seydisfjordur: Further along the road another great waterfall. I find I can't get enough of them. They are wearing thinner for Nancy.
DigitalQuixote > Road to Seydisfjordur: This gives a sense of scale.
DigitalQuixote > Road to Seydisfjordur: This is one of my favorites of all the trip. It won't please every taste, but I like the abstract lights and darks.
DigitalQuixote > Strong Man Contest: We were walking around town and heard cheering from a small park about 50 meters away. We walked over and found everyone in town enjoying the local "Strong Man" contest. A dozen or so fellows were competing. They had erected a barrier and the test was to heave an empty beer keg over the barrier. Everyone had a go, and if you succeed in getting your keg over the barrier, you continue to the next round. You get two tries each round but have to succeed only once. Before the next round, they raise the barrier. The lone man to get the keg over the highest barrier is the strongest.
