Adventure Culinary Travel
At the southeastern end of the Vatnajökull Glacier, the ice sheet flows down the mountain and icebergs break free into the freezing Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon. The atmosphere is magical, the air biting cold, and the ice varies in amazing shapes and textures, with brilliant blue color, from giant icebergs down to small icy gems we can hold. This has been one of my favorite places so far!

Part of the Vatnajökull Glacier and National Park, Skaftafell is an area with a waterfall in one direction and a glacier sheet in another. We had time for just one, so we went to explore the glacial ice, the almost tropical colored pools, and the sudden drop in temperature!

The road back to Sólheimajökull looked absurdly scenic, and at the end of the road was a completely unique landscape and a glacier! How could we not go check it out??!?!
