The road to Jökulsárgljúfur National Park is a bumpy one. We'd already switched to a smaller bus, more suitable for the terrain. However, the ride is still very jarring.

The SBA tour is the only one which travels the western shore of the Jökulsá á Fjöllum. Rivers are so omni-present in Iceland, that the letter (word) á means river. It is pronounced "ow".

We'd learned another Icelandic word - öræfi - as in Öræfajökull. The wasteland. Getting off the bus, you can see the very definition of the word.
