- Description: Moody photos of the Falljökull glacier in Iceland in the fog and rain. Of course, I had been hoping for a dry and sunny day, but the photos actually turned out quite good.

The Falljökull is an easily accessible outlet glacier of the Vatnajökull in Skaftafell National Park. To spread the risk I'd booked two full-day glacier hikes in Skaftafell National Park, one at the beginning of my first week in Iceland and one at the end of my second week. Unfortunately, the weather was drowsy and rainy on both days. It did make for moody photos though.

The moss slowly absorbs the rock leaving a tiny soft ball of moss
