Reykjavik Excursions

I can’t pronounce, let alone SPELL, the name of this glacier. What I CAN tell you is that this glacier is a must-see on Iceland’s southern coast!

The walk to get here from the parking lot wasn’t short; however, with views like these, I would’ve walked an extra mile!

I had Iceland layovers in 2014 AND 2016, so I had to make 2018 count 🙂 Going outside of the city is something I should’ve done four years ago…

Being so close to the water made me want to swim in it (or at least go kayaking)!

The walk back consisted of hail, rain, snow, and sunshine all in one! But with the sunshine came a lot of green.

Note: I chose not to lighten any of these photos because I want you to see the glacier (almost) as I did!

It has been FOREVER since I’ve taken the time to write. But it’s important for me to write and reflect on my travels; I need to make more of an effort to do so 🙂

On Bethany’s and my first full day in Iceland, we went on a 10-hour tour of the Golden Circle! Each location on the tour kept getting better and better!

Here were the stops we took:

Þingvellir National Park
Geysir
Gullfoss Waterfall

The national park was full of history. When we were walking on the main pathway with our tour guide, we essentially had one foot in Europe and the other in North America. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me, as someone who loves geography and travel!
