Today it is cold in Borgarfjord, the thermometer shows -10 celsius, the sun is shining and the wind is still. The view today towards the glaciers is magnificent…..
Only about 15 to 20 minutes drive from Snorrastofa, are the amazing waterfalls "Hraunfossar".
The water flows from the nearby glaciers, Eiríksjökull and Langjökull, through/ under the lava and flows out again by "Hvítá" ( The white river). Hvítá gets it milky color from the glaciers minerals. Visit the waterfalls any time of year, they are truly worth it.
For more information visit Snorrastofa or see West Iceland.
My name is Sigrun Guttormsdóttir Þormar. I live inBorgarfjord west Iceland, where I work as a project leader at the cultural medieval center Snorrastofa in Reykholt. For those that don't know, Reykholt was the home of Snorri Sturluson, medieval writer and poet whom lived in Reykholt from 1206 to 1241. He was the author of the Edda, Heimskringla (History of the kings of Norway) and Egils Saga Skallagrimsson. For me Snorri is the most amazing employer whom I proudly serve and constantly present in my every day life! He is absolutely still going strong at 835 years of age. Please come and visit us at www.snorrastofa.is. We are open all weekdays during the winter and all days during summer. We have an exhibition about Snorri Sturluson and offer lectures for groups. Hope to see you soon :)
