Skaftafell in Vatnajökull National Park

Crossing an impossibly flat and desolate landscape, like something from another barren planet, we made our way to Skaftafell. 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!

Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon

Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon is a beautiful, awe inspiring sight in southern Iceland… and one we were lucky to see! It was closed to visitors for some time due to damage to the landscape from people choosing not to respect the fragile environment, but luckily it had reopened just before our arrival. We explore this magnificent place and revel in its breathtaking scenery, while hoping people will choose to be responsible and respectful of the landscape in the future.

Gullfoss

This magnificent waterfall was one of the most anticipated stops on our journey through Iceland! An enormous rush of water cascading down to a plummet into a beautiful canyon, Gullfoss is a standout waterfall in a land known for waterfalls. We felt the rush of the water as it crashed into the rocks, got a bit wet from the spray, and if the falls weren’t gorgeous enough… we were treated to a rainbow arching over the canyon!

The Black Forest

From the legends we have read since we were kids, the images of picturesque little German villages, and our love for nature all combined into our fascination with the Black Forest. It has long been a destination both of us have dreamed about, and we are finally here! We stood in complete awe surrounded by the towering trees and green moss in the forest, drove a long woodland road to our remote hotel, found a waterfall in a cute cuckoo-clock village, and had a wonderful sausage dinner. The night ended perfectly with the best clear, starry sky that we’ve seen in years!
