Iceland

Start off with the sights first.

Blue lagoon is the most famous attraction there. The water is naturally blue due to sulphuric acid in the waters. Due to Iceland having hot spots, the water is also warm.


And a pool for tourists to soak in. They even have some spa materials for you to put on ur face and body.

Can u see the people waiting around for the geysir to spout? About 10min for each spout. A geysir is where the heat builds up underground, and forcing the water to burst out of the ground.

This is where the North American and Eurasian techtonic plates meet. They are divergent plates- ie they slide apart from each other, thus forming rifts and fissures. The below pix are the fissures itself.

Its a volcano crater. Björk has even held a concert here before, the whole band were on a boat in the lake, while the audience were seated on the slopes of the crater.

Supposedly the most beautiful waterfall in Iceland:

More waterfalls:

We could actually climb behind the waterfall:

The glacier lake was the most magnificent view of the trip. The16hrs bus trip there and back was worth it.A number of films have been shot here, including James Bond and Tomb Raider.

We also went up the glacier to do some snowmobiling!

The views? AWESOME>>>

Some other adventure activities we did:

Climbing out of cave/cave entrance

Group caving/cave ceiling

Went rafting too, but we did not bring down the camera as we might land up in the water. A pity, coz the sight was really magnificent, although the ride was not as exciting as what I think u would experience in typical adventure rafting trips. Water was super cold- cldnt stop shivering after we were made to jump off the cliff into the water.

After all the sights and activities, the capital town Reykjavik pales in comparison, but anyway, here it is..
And yes, during summer time, we did not experience night at all-
Yes, the sun was 'setting' at 12am.. and it was still bright when we woke up at 4am..
