Today we got up early and drove to Dettifos, the biggest waterfall of Iceland in terms water flow. It is about 40 m high and 300m3 water is falling down in the canyon in every second. It is nice that you can go as close as you wish, nobody is holding back to jump you in the water.
After that we drove to Husavik; a small village on the coast, which is famous about its whale watching tours and the world only penis museum. There is exhibited the most precious part of all males of some 200 species.
Above is the penis of a blue whale. According to Lonely Planet, the whale watching business is bringing the same amount of money as hunting would bring for Iceland, therefore it is better to show them instead to eat. I would say show and eat them as well...
We continued the day in Myvatn national park with a lot of hiking, wondering the lakes and several volcanic formations.
At the end of the day we went to a gethermal bath, which is quite similar to the Blue lagoon in the south they say. It was a a really nice pool with strongly sulfurous water of about 40 C.
We stayed in a cabin for the night and had a nice grill in the midnight sun. Tomorrow we going to continue hiking in the area.
