An Opportunity Inward Iceland – Role Iii

In Republic of Iceland they state yous tin hold off five minutes in addition to the atmospheric condition volition change.  To state nosotros had 4 seasons inward i 24-hour interval would hold upward real accurate.  We awoke i forenoon to snowfall on the the world in addition to reservations to larn whale watching.  By the fourth dimension nosotros were create to larn the snowfall had stopped in addition to had started to melt.  The seas of the North Atlantic are non e'er practiced to those amongst weak stomachs.  It was my to the lowest degree favorite three hours of the entire trip in addition to nosotros didn’t come across whatever whales.  Never i time again – I larn bounding main sick but thinking well-nigh it.  Funny how all the women held bounding main sickness bags inward our laps the entire trip in addition to the guys never seemed to hold upward affected or at to the lowest degree didn’t exhibit it.

Despite the rocky start, the 24-hour interval it turned out absolutely beautiful in addition to nosotros constitute fun things to produce inward Reykjavik.  We toured the Hallgrimskirkja Church a pop landmark inward Reykjavik in addition to the Country’s largest church.  It tin hold upward seen from almost anywhere inward town in addition to offers beautiful views from the top.

I dearest the colorful rooftops in addition to the mount views are exceptionally beautiful.

The entire province of Republic of Iceland is well-nigh the size of Tennessee in addition to well-nigh two-thirds of the 300,000 residents alive inward Reykjavik.

Their largest manufacture is line-fishing but inward recent years tourism has increased to a greater extent than than 20%.  Iceland’s economic scheme crashed a few years agone hence the outreach to depict visitors in addition to their dollars to visit.

We were real pleased that most spoke “understandable” English.  They to a greater extent than frequently than non seemed happy nosotros were eating inward the restaurants, renting cars, staying inward the hotels in addition to seeing the sites.

The side yesteryear side 24-hour interval nosotros headed due east to Jokulsarlon in addition to Skaftafell Park to bask the beautiful weather.  Everywhere nosotros went at that spot were waterfalls.  We must get got stopped every five miles or then to accept pictures.

Icelandic horses are everywhere, but similar waterfalls.  There are 90,000 Icelandic horses in addition to exclusively 300,000 people then yous tin tell they dearest their horses.

Icelandic horses are a hardy in addition to long-lived breed.  They may hold off similar a cross betwixt a Equus caballus in addition to pony but don’t telephone band them ponies!  Icelandic police prevents whatever other breeds from beingness imported into the County in addition to equally good prevents exported horses from returning … ever.

They are the exclusively breed of Equus caballus inward the Country in addition to are relatively gratuitous from disease.

Icelandic horses are used for farm operate equally good equally pleasance riding, racing in addition to showing.

This appears to hold upward around other glacier but I didn’t larn the name!

Then nosotros arrived at my favorite house of the entire trip.   Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon inward southeast Republic of Iceland is currently the deepest lake inward the country.  Four Hollywood movies get got been filmed at this location, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 View To Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Kill, Tomb Raider, Batman Begins in addition to Die Another Day.

The H2O ice sculptures (icebergs) were absolutely beautiful.

Chunks of H2O ice were scattered all over the dark volcanic beach.

And at that spot were seals!  They are quite fast in addition to difficult to photograph but my wonderful hubby got this shot. They were everywhere in addition to then fast.

Here’s my Traveling Husband doing what he does best – checking out the best shot!

If nosotros didn’t get got such a long travail dorsum I could get got stayed until the Sun went downwardly at 11:00 p.m.

There is something then magnificent well-nigh this place.  The tide was coming inward pushing the H2O ice around, crushing the icebergs into i another.  It was awesome.

Truly breathtaking!

We headed out to the terminate of the lagoon where it empties into the North Atlantic.

We were told Killer Whales are frequently seen hunting seals inward the expanse but nosotros didn’t whatever on this trip.

As nosotros headed dorsum to Reykjavik nosotros stopped to shoot this cloud that almost looked similar a burning volcano.

The exclusively things nosotros actually want nosotros could get got seen are the puffins, whales in addition to the Northern Lights.  We were a niggling early on for the Puffins (birds) in addition to a niggling slow for the lights.  The whales but didn’t cooperate then I gauge we’ll but get got to larn back!  Just i to a greater extent than postal service to come upward on Republic of Iceland – promise!

Thanks then much for stopping by!
