That is the final a part of my journey to Iceland. A visit so genuine, that actually made me love this place without end.

The day ended with a conventional Vikings meal, to pave the way in which for the third wonderful day on the island.

ΜΥ TRIP TO ICELAND – DAY 3

EXPLORING THE BLACK BEACH

 

The day started with Tremendous Jeep Adventures from Midgard Adventures firm and our first cease was the Black Seashore; a spot that I’ll actually always remember.

 

The Black Seashore or Reynisfjara is on the South aspect of the island and is globally recognized for its black sand. It’s near the fishing village Vík í Mýrdal and you may simply method it. The fierce Atlantic ocean ‘hugs’ the seashore whereas the entire image of it’s a little bit… unearthly. Iceland may be thought of as an enormous volcano since it’s actually above many volcanoes; so it isn’t unusual that this seashore has been made out of ashes and lava.

 

It has been within the prime ten listing with the most effective, most particular seashores worldwide and let’s not neglect that Mom of Dragons walked right here -thumbs up for those who’re a GOT fan-.

COFFEE STOP AT GLUGGAFOSS WATERFALL

 

Proper after the Sizzling Canine meal, we had some espresso and scorching chocolate with a view to Gluggafoss Waterfall.

 

Its geology is what makes this waterfall so distinctive. It is truly a mixture of waterfalls that are linked to the Merkjá river. All of them create the primary waterfall which is named Merkjárfoss What can also be particular concerning the reference to the river, is the creation of tunnels and “home windows”, the well-known “gluggar” ones, from which the water flows.

THE ICELANDIC HIGHLANDS

And that was the second I bought at Highlands of Iceland. Spell “magic”.

The Highlands of Iceland are prolonged to an space of 40,000 sq. metres whereas the South ones had been created after the final Ice Age. When the ice melts and the character is obvious from it, the surroundings is totally dreamy. You need to go to this space, particularly in spring and even summer time, and lay upon the mossy floor -it’s the most effective floor you will see in the entire island!  

You may come by automotive, as somewhere else within the island too, however be sure to ask the locals for the spots which are price to go to.
