Claudia just returned from a five day adventure exploring the breathtaking countryside, glaciers, and waterfalls of Iceland. Here are some photos from her trip:

1 Seljalandsfoss Waterfall: This waterfall, off the South East portion off the Ring Road (or Highway 1 – which travels around the entire island) drops 60 meters over the cliffs of the former coastline. There is a pathway behind the waterfall, where this photo was taken.
