Iceland Part 3 Magnificent Mother Natural


We love this Seljalandsfoss waterfall, the best part was that you can walk behind the waterfall to look at something so beautiful in a different perspective and feel the power of its thundering roars. 

And, we had fun of getting wet together



 Seljalandsfoss 

Definitely a place to visit, this museum run by the family of Porvaldseyri farm, live at the foot of a volcano that erupted in April, 2010.

It was really interesting to watch the documentary, understand the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull and its impact to the local community here in Iceland. 
Lucky my wife, able to take a selfie with the owner of this museum too 

Eyjafjallajökull

Check in this beautiful hotel, right between Skaftafell and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, 2 of Iceland's most spectacular natural attractions.






Thanks to #Dreamtrips and #FossHotel for the lovely arrangement for our Honeymoon vacation

Journey to the South of Iceland, we visited to Skogar Museum which has a lot of informative history about how Icelandic live in the past.


By far, this is the most impressive museum I ever seen, lots of collection. To me, the most interesting part is those "Hobbit" house at the back of the museum, authentic Viking homes. Cute 😍 Beautiful History!!

Mesmerizing waterfall worth seeing 😍Skogafoss - rectangular waterfall that dropped 60m with a width 25m.
1st time getting so close to the base of such a large waterfall was quite rare. Super Beautiful, no wonder they used it in an advert and cover for magazines 



For the 1st time, we are so close to iceberg, too excited for the view in front our eyes 😄
Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Iceland and it’s also the largest glacier mass in Europe, 8300 sq.km and average 500m thick.


Is real in front our eyes! Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon - this place is incredible with black sand beach and full of floating Icebergs flow to the ocean, out of this world-views 👍🏻
It's a stunning location worth seeing in south of Iceland. I am glad to be on this trip


Unforgettable boat tour on Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon (foot of the Largest Glacier - Vatnajökull), sails among the huge icebergs in the picturesque scenery of Jökulsárlón.
And we get to taste the 1000 years old ice originate from the Glacier itself. 


Tasted the thousand years ice!




A memorable Farewell Dinner together with fellow Dreamtripers after the Glacier Lagoon Tour! As we shared our travel experiences over Icelandic Food!
Thanks to our lovely host Wendy Liang Stefania Boccucci for assisting! Can't imagine how much work and hassle it is to plan for this trip.. Truly appreciative of Dreamtrips and the experiences we gained. This is by far the Best trip ever ❤️ Next Stop ✈️✈️✈️

There are many waterfalls in Iceland, but this is a special one - #Hraunfossar(Lava Falls). The crystal blue water carving a canyon and water streaming from all along the Lava Wall which from an eruption of 1 of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull.

Excellent weather for whale 🐳 watching at Faxafloi Bay, North Atlantic Ocean 😍
We got lucky, saw several whales, dolphins and puffins, able capture some videos and photos under the heavy winds

Reykjavik Harbour 

Walking from the cold air (7 degree) into the hot blue water of the lagoon (40 degree) is amazing. 
With the backdrop of the ever changing Icelandic Sky, the rugged back lava rock worn to smooth white silica and the water is incredible and overwordly milky blue color (because of silicate minerals), this is an wonderful experience that I'll never forget. Average 5000 ppl visit to Blue Lagoon daily!!

We throughly enjoyed the calming atmosphere, complimentary silica mud face mask and soaking in the Blue Lagoon. 

Everyone has a remarkably great time

After shivering along the street for 15min & deliberating on economics of dinner.. we decided we will not spend $100 on a simple 3 course meal or $45 for a bowl of shellfish soup. We were happy with sharing three good large pizzas at $170 amongst 9 of us.


Though is summer here but is still very windy and freezing cold, and we visited the largest church & also the tallest (74.5 meters) structures in the entire Iceland. #hallgrimskirkja 



Day 2, Depart to Golden Triangle with and first stop would be Geyser which exploding geysirs up to 30 meters high into the air every few minutes 😱😱Amazing!! Is like a Water Volcano 



Second Stop, Gullfoss - "Golden Falls", iconic waterfall of Iceland offering a spectacular view of the forces & beauty of untouched nature. The biggest waterfall I ever seen in my life, magnificent view !! 



Third Stop of Golden Triangle, Þingvellir - A national shrine of Iceland and also the oldest existing parliament in the world and first assembled in 930 AD. 
UNESCO World Heritage Site checked

 
Check in Borgarnes Hotel and have a view like this! Super Cool. Never had enough photo when you are Travelling, especially in Iceland, even in the hotel room.
Get inspired by the movie "The secrets life of Walter Mitty", so here we come our 1st road-trip together exploring a place that we never thought of!! 


An hour travel to the north part of Borgarnes Town - Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland is almost a miniature version of the island. Rich with in bird cliffs, spectacular mountains, volcanic craters, ancient fishing village Hellnar and the iconic Kirkjufell mountain.

  
WOW experience to go into the 2nd largest glacier in Iceland via this deep man-made tunnel that's been carved through the creeping ice at 12,000 meters above sea level.
And learn about how the tunnel was made, geology and the history of Iceland. Truly a once in a lifetime experience 😍 Amazed by the GOD creation, so grateful 🙏🏻


 Standing right on the Langjökull glacier - Iceland's 2nd largest glacier (Ice River) and going INTO the glacier to experience the glacier’s beauty from the inside! It is 50km long, 15km wide, 580m deep!! Super Excited
