Day 3

We got an early start to our day when we woke up at 6:00, and left camp around 6:50. That's when our adventure for the day began.







Our first stop for the day was, Reynisfjara. Reynisfajara is a black sand beach with hexagonal basalt crystal formations that are twenty times taller then me. This was amazing and a detour that I am glad we took.





Our next stop was to a glacier called Svinafellsjokull. This behemoth of a glacier was amazing, surrounded by mountains higher than any I have ever seen, covered with tons of snow.





Finaly we went to the famous Jokulsarlon glacier bay. This is a bay with one huge glacier that has broken apart into small chunks that float around the bay resulting in a bay full of icebergs. It is truly amazing.

Tonight we are sleeping in a little hotel room instead of our car. This is for many reasons, and I hope we will be back sleeping in nature tomorrow night. I am amazed at how much we have already seen on this trip, and I can not wait to see more tomorrow.
