After a fairly late night with the Aurora displays we checked out of our hotel and started our drive to Hali.  We had great plans to photograph the falls, farms and other interesting vista.  It was raining and snowing as we left Reykjavik and slowly but surely started getting worse as we moved South.Our first stop was Seljalandfoss.  Seljalandsfoss is a very popular tourist attractions and also one of the most photographed in Iceland. These falls are located between Seljalandsmúli and Hamragarðar. When driving on route 1 you need to turn at Seljalandsmúli on a side road.  The falls are about 3/4 of a mile with ample parking.The Seljalandsá river drops about 200 feet off the cliff edge forming Seljalandsfoss (foss means waterfall). In addition to Seljalandsfoss, there a few additional streams that drop similar heights to the west of the main falls. A path provides access behind the waterfall that gives photographers and tourists many unique views.Small breaks in the rain allowed for some brief shooting.Next stop was Skógarfoss.  This is one of Iceland’s larger waterfalls 70 feet wide and 200 feet high. Skógarfoss is a fall along the river Skógará.The wind and the way the fall droops there is always high volume of spray. In sunlight, that we unfortunately lacked, the spray results in a a single or double rainbow. According to Icelandic folklore there are treasures and gold buried under the waterfall.The rain and snow is getting worse and photography is near impossible.  Some of the group would not be denied the opportunity so they braved the elements and got some record shots.We leave the foss in driving sleet, snow and high winds.  We stop at one more waterfall called Falls at Forsa.Now the snow is more like a blizzard, visibility is down to a 50 feet or so. We drive using the yellow road markers to guide us. Eventually arrive in the town of Vik.  This is the southern most tip of Iceland.  Lunch and then on to Klaustur where we normally fill up as there are no gas stations in Hali. The conditions are getting worse and the wind is just brutal.  We drive on to the next small town of Skaftafel.  The wind spend signs show 88 MPH steady winds and the gusts are over 100 MPH.  If you are on FaceBook check out a short video of this experience on E.J. Peiker's timeline.   We drive a few miles and are turned back by the police - the road is impassable.  Fortunately Skftafell has a small hotel and they have 5 rooms available, we are 15 in all so it is hole up time.  We had dinner at this hotel and managed to get some sleep.  Wakeup call was for 5:45 and departure 6:30.In the most part this day was a wash-out.
