Iceland is a real treat for those that love the outdoors. The population of the entire country is around 320,000 people. 250,000 of them live in the capital city of Reykjavik. Once we left the capital, it became an extremely rural country with some of the most amazing waterfalls I have ever seen. There were waterfalls literally everywhere. Feed by the glaciers and the rain fall. The approximately 30 active volcanoes, creates a lot of geothermal activity. They use geothermal vents to generated the electricity for the entire country. The minerals in the water of the geothermal pools, like the Myvatn natural baths we visted, makes your skin feel as smooth as silk. The glacier bay and Diamond Beach was my favorite stop. Watching the glaciers, calf icebergs into the bay. Seeing the icebergs make there way to the ocean to end up stranded on the beach because of the crashing waves was an incredible experience. Our super jeep tour out to the ice cave was a unique experience. We were also fortunate enough to see the Northern lights while we were there. Stop missing out, join us for one of our upcoming adventures.
