The moss is somewhat well-known since that the Biebs got in trouble for frolicking in it. It was cordoned off at the viewing point we stopped at and the fields extend as far as we could see. It was pretty impressive. The moss is exceptionally fragile - it's soft and very spongey. The green is vibrant and bright, especially so with a rainy grey sky behind it. 

The other cool part of the drive was the number of waterfalls that Iceland has just on the side of the road. Some of the houses even had them in their backyards. 

The park has a visitor centre in Skaftafell and from there it is about a 20 min walk to view the Skaftafellsjökull outlet glacier. This is the S1 Geology trail on the guide available at the vistors centre and is 3.7 km. We spent awhile taking in the amazing view at the outlet and while I was somewhat disappointed I couldn't touch a glacier from there, it was worth the rainy walk. 

 The walk back induced a bit of vertigo in me - the combination of drizzling rain, cold weather and staring at endless glaciers my poor brain decided to make me believe the cliffs were moving. 

From the park we continued on passing even more amazing scenery along the way. The sides of the road had large puddles from the rain which made for some beautiful reflections of the mountains. Iceland really is one of the most beautiful places in the world. 

However it appeared the best was yet to come as we got a glimpse of the next day's stop on our way to our accomodation for the night.
