Iceland Part 1: Glacier Lagoon

Remember learning about glaciers in 4th grade and thinking, "cool" but you never really gave a second thought that you could actually see one because they ACTUALLY EXIST? Glacier Lagoon, or as the Icelanders call it, Jökulsárlón, is such glacier and the lagoon is oh so furreal. Yes, there are seals swimming around. Sometimes the icebergs turn upside down and then you can see the smooth ice patterns like the second pic from the bottom. The patterns Mother Earth creates are really out of this world. Ha. Punny. The boat rental handed us some really sexy onesy jumpsuits to wear, which really made my day because it made me a cozy happy camper.

You liking Iceland so far? Yeah, this is only the first of my batch of pictures so you've got to to bear with me.

I'll be posting more to Facebook so I don't overwhelm you with 300+ pics of each stop. You're welcome.

Alice said...: I'm going to Iceland in a few weeks and desperately need packing advice. I'd be immensely grateful if you did a post on what to wear in Iceland while those landscapes are blowing your mind (for my feet's own sake).

Lauren @ Beautiful Fight said...: I'm currently planning a trip to Iceland. Did you see the Westfjords or travel through the highlands? We are trying to decide if we should choose to visit the Westfjords or cut across the middle of Iceland through the highlands. We will probably only have time for one. I thought you might have some input! Thanks!

The House That Lars Built said...: Hi Lauren!

I wanted to go so bad! In fact, we tried to go, but you have to take a ferry there and the day we tried to go was rough and we could have made it there, but they said they didn't know when we would be able to get back. I think it's risky sometimes. BUT, really, any place you go will be amazing.; March 1, 2013 at 4:12 AM
