The couple's helicopter landed near Hótel Skógafoss after a sightseeing flight over Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano that stopped thousands of flights worldwide with a powerful eruption in 2010.
Locals that work at the folk museum near the waterfall, Byggðasafnið, did not notice the stars arrival.
"It would have been nice to have them here at the museum," says Sverrir Magnússon, museum director, laughing. "We heard a helicopter but didn't think much about it, as it is quite common that people arrive by helicopter in order to take a look at Skógafoss."
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z arrived in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, Monday. The couple arrived in a private jet at Reykjavik airport. They are here to celebrate Jay Z‘s 45th birthday on Thursday, December 4th.
Guests are expected to be arriving today and Icelanders are excited to see if the birthday party will be full of celebrities.
Not everybody is happy with the Icelandic media coverage of the traveling couple, though. Many feel the media should not make such a fuss about the visit of the American couple. The celebrities manage quite well to avoid the spotlight of the media.
