Dynjandi

Day 11 in Iceland was spent in the Westfjords. We drove through the area enjoying the beauty and very much not enjoying the unpaved roads that go around mountainous curves and altitude changes and have far too many potholes. The area really is pretty, but it is probably prettier than I realize as it was raining most of the day with very low clouds, such that it was rather difficult to see much of the fjords. During our drive, we visited Dynjandi, which is a rather pretty series of waterfalls. The stream that flows over the waterfalls then exits to a fjord in an area with lots of waterfowl.
