So, this morning we set off to go up the tower of the Hallgrimskirkja – it was the clearest day we’d had. Unfortunately it was closed for maintenance so we headed down to the waterfront again, to watch the morning light on the mountains across the bay. Then off to the airport for our flight to Akureyri. eventually we got here after an hour’s delay.

While it was sunny in Reykjavik after the stormy weather and snow of the last two days passed through, in Akureyri it has alternated between snowing slightly and snowing more heavily. The snow is thick on everything and at the moment there’s someone in a cherry-picker knocking snow off the roof of our hotel. Icicles are hanging off the buildings everywhere. We are supposed to be going on a Northern Lights tour in an hour (9:30pm). Not hopeful but it hasn’t been cancelled so 🤞.

So here’s some morning colour from Reykjavik and some snow in Akureyri.
