So we left Reykjavik and it's surrounds behind and began our eastward journey. The second night we stayed near the beautiful waterfall of Skogafoss. The waterfall is amazing because you can walk almost right up to it. Almost, because the wind and spray physically pushes you back when you get too close.We also visited the black beach of Vik and it's basalt columns before travelling to the awesome Vatnajökull glacier. We strapped on some crampons and headed onto the ice. After only about 30 mins walking/scrambling across the silent ice we were surrounded by a vast frozen sea. Next up was the beautifully serene Jökulsárlón iceberg lake. At the base of a glacier, it holds all the chunks of ice that breaks off before they make their way out to sea. To round out our ice adventure we took a snow mobiling trip. After a hair raising journey up into the glacier we got suited up and sped off through the ice fields. I think that Jodie and I may have enjoyed this bit a lot more than Nec did!
