2025 Myrdalshreppur Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

One day, I embarked on a journey to Sólheimasandur Beach in Iceland. During the long trek across the black desert, the wreckage of a dilapidated airplane gradually came into view, standing like a solitary relic in this desolate land. The plane's past is chilling - it once experienced a thrilling plane crash, yet miraculously, all passengers survived unscathed. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing on this black beach due to fuel exhaustion. At that time, the plane plummeted rapidly from the sky, skimming the sea surface, and finally came to a halt on the beach with a violent crash. The terrified passengers and crew struggled to escape, fighting through the flying debris, and eventually, everyone made it out safely. This accident left the plane forever stranded on this barren beach. Today, the wreckage is severely deformed, with a twisted fuselage, broken wings, and metal parts scattered across the sand. Despite the passage of time, it remains awe-inspiring. I carefully walked around it, as if touching a piece of history. The shattered glass of the cabin glinted faintly, evoking images of the panicked passengers fleeing. Standing before this ancient aerial giant, I couldn't help but reflect on how life is like this plane, full of unexpected surprises and challenges. Sometimes, we encounter unforeseen difficulties, but only by staying calm and courageous can we turn danger into safety and regain hope. This wreckage silently conveys such life philosophy, making one ponder deeply. As I left, I looked back reluctantly, feeling as if the solitary plane wreck was telling an untold legend. I hope to return someday to revisit this unforgettable history.

**——"My wallet was blinded by the aurora, but my soul was warmed by the volcano"** --- ### **1. Walking around scenic spots** **1. Natural wonders (free! But the wind may charge)** - **Golden Circle**: - **Geysir**: It sprays every 5 minutes, which is more punctual than your alarm clock. Be careful not to get your face washed by the hot water when taking pictures. - Gullfoss: The mist is so thick that it feels like standing in a washing machine, but the rainbow is so beautiful that you forget about your wet shoes. - Þingvellir National Park: Standing in the middle of the rift between the Eurasian and North American plates, post to your Moments: "Just split a fork between two continents." - **Black Sand Beach (Reynisfjara)**: - The waves are more eye-catching than influencers. If you stand too close, you will be warned of getting wet by the Atlantic Ocean. - The basalt columns resemble giant organ pipes, perfect for a Game of Thrones-style movie (but don’t try to stand on them like Dragon Queen). - **Glacier Hike (Sólheimajökull)**: - Spend 300 yuan to join a tour group, and the tour guide will teach you how to use an ice pick to pose for a "moon landing photo", but in reality you will be out of breath after just two steps. **2. Aurora Hunting (Winter Only)** - Download the Aurora Forecast App. Chasing the aurora is like chasing an idol—it requires patience and luck. - Photography tips: Use long exposure. Even if your hands are as shaky as Parkinson’s, you can still capture the green ribbon. **3. Guide to lying down in hot springs** - **Blue Lagoon**: The ticket price is painful, but the silica mud mask is free. If you slide on your face after applying it, you will do splits if a fly stands on it. - **Secret Lagoon**: A favorite among locals, it is affordable and the pebbles at the bottom of the pool hurt your feet but it is tolerable. --- ### **Second, Foodie Survival Guide** **1. Icelandic dark cuisine (be careful)** - **Fermented Shark Meat (Hákarl)**: The smell of ammonia is so strong that it requires courage and a bottle of strong liquor to rinse your mouth. - **Sheep's head (Svið): The eyes stare at you, as if to say "Do you dare to eat me?" **2. Normal human food** - **Hot Dog (Bæjarins Beztu)**: The same style as Clinton’s, with chopped onions + crispy fried onions + yellow mustard sauce, a breath of fresh air among Iceland’s prices. - **Lobster soup (Humarsúpa**): A must-try in Hepburn Port, you can lick the bowl with bread. - **Skyr Yogurt**: A protein bomb that tastes like licking an iceberg (but healthy). **3. Tips to save money** - **Bonus Supermarket (with pink pig logo)**: Buy bread + smoked salmon + cola, and you can have three meals a day for 50 yuan. - **Gas station hot dog**: A spiritual placenta for Icelanders and a lifesaver when they are hungry in the middle of the night. --- ### **Third, accommodation recommendations for poor people** **1. Hostel** - **Reykjavík Downtown Hostel**: 200 yuan/night, located in the city center, but the gap in the bathroom door is big enough to chat with neighbors. - **Loft Hostel**: Watch the Northern Lights from the rooftop bar (if you are lucky), the beds are like capsule hotels but clean. **2. Farmstay** - **Sleeping next to the sheepfold**: 150 yuan/night, breakfast included, you may be woken up by the bleating of sheep in the morning. - **Warm Tips**: The heating may not be enough in winter, so it is recommended to wear long underwear to sleep. **3. Camping (Summer Only)** - Rent a camper and park at a free campsite by the sea. Watch the midnight sunset before going to bed and the cute puffins when you wake up. --- ### **Fourth, Tips for Saving Money on Transportation** 1. **Rent a car and drive yourself**: It is most cost-effective to carpool with four people, but be careful of the car door being blown away by strong winds (buy full insurance!). 2. **Bus Pass**: Suitable for solo travelers, but the frequency of buses is as rare as winning the lottery. 3. **Hitchhiking**: Icelanders are kind, but in winter you may have to wait an hour for a car (remember to dress like a polar bear to stand out). --- ### **V. Life-saving knowledge** 1. **The weather changes faster than your ex**: Experience four seasons in one day, and clothing advice is like an onion - peel it layer by layer. 2. **Drink directly from the tap**: The cold water is like glacier water, sweeter than first love, while the hot water is like sulphurous rotten egg soup (don’t drink it!). 3. **Toilet charges**: Have a 100-kroner coin ready, or your bladder will protest. 4. **Language barrier**: Icelandic sounds like an alien language, but everyone speaks English well, so you can wander around without worry. --- ### **VI. Artistic Speech Template** "In Iceland, volcanoes were stirring beneath my feet, the aurora was dancing above my head, and I was eating a hot dog at a gas station - this is the real poetry and distance." (Photo suggestions: Glacier back view + hot spring mask grimace + hot dog close-up) --- **Final Warning:** Don’t be fooled by the photos of internet celebrities - the wind in Iceland is strong enough to blow your wig away, and the prices are so high that you want to sell a kidney. But when you soak in the hot springs and watch the aurora pass through the night sky like green silk, you will think: "Kidneys can regenerate, but memories cannot."💸

▪️Iceland｜Iceland Located in the North Atlantic Ocean, it is known as the "Land of Ice and Fire" and has active geological activities, with a large number of glaciers, volcanoes, geothermal fountains and waterfalls. Iceland is located near the Arctic Circle, where you can observe the aurora borealis in winter and polar day in summer. - ▪️Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon Located in the south of Vatnajökull glacier, the lake is filled with ice blocks of different sizes floating on the surface, formed by the meltwater from the glacier. The lake water flows into the Atlantic Ocean through short rivers, and the ice is slowly moved by the tides. Boat trips are available in some areas, allowing you to observe the ice floes up close. 📍 Jökulsárlón, Iceland - ▪️Golden Circle｜Golden Circle Iceland's classic tourist route includes three major natural landscapes: 📌 The geyser is located in a geothermal area. The Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, with a water column up to 30 meters high. 📌 Thingvellir National Park is located at the intersection of the Eurasian Plate and the American Plate, and the surface fault zone is clearly visible; 📌 The Golden Falls is a two-level waterfall. The river water falls into the canyon from a height of 32 meters, and the water volume is abundant all year round. 📍 Golden Circle, Iceland - ▪️Black Sand Beach｜Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach Located on the south coast of Iceland, it was formed by the cooling of lava after a volcanic eruption, and the beach is black. The basalt columns along the coast are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are three sea stacks in the nearby sea area, which were formed due to long-term erosion by wind and waves. The area is windy and rough, with waves changing rapidly. 📍 Reynisfjara, Iceland - ▪️Volcano Adventures There are many volcanoes in Iceland and geological activities are active. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, leaving lava debris around the crater. The Turismok geothermal area offers the experience of going inside a volcano and observing the magma pathways after an eruption. - ▪️Blue Lagoon Hot Spring｜Blue Lagoon Located in a geothermal area near Reykjavik, the lake water is rich in silica and minerals, giving it a milky blue color. The water temperature remains at 37-39°C all year round. The lake is surrounded by black lava landforms and the water comes from underground thermal energy circulation. 📍 Blue Lagoon, Iceland - ▪️Aurora Borealis Iceland is located in the Northern Lights belt, and the aurora can be seen from September to April of the following year. Observation points include the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Akureyri and Thingvellir National Park. The appearance of auroras is influenced by solar wind activity, and their intensity and frequency vary depending on weather conditions. - ▪️Natural hot springs and waterfalls 📌 Seljalandsfoss: The water falls from a 60-meter-high cliff. There is a trail behind the waterfall that allows you to go around to the back of the waterfall. 📌 Skogafoss: The waterfall is 25 meters wide and 60 meters high, with abundant water. Rainbows are common due to long-term water mist. 📌 Reykjada Hot Springs River: Located in the geothermal area, the river water is kept at a suitable temperature due to the influx of underground hot springs, and it can be used for natural hot spring soaking. - The following is a detailed guide for Icelandic volcano tourism, combining the latest developments and classic attractions to help you experience Iceland's "Song of Ice and Fire" safely and in depth: --- ### **1. Recommended volcanic attractions** 1. Thrihnukagigur - **Features**: The only volcano in the world that can be entered from the inside. The last eruption was 4,000 years ago.

You need to prepare wind and cold protection equipment. You will be led by a guide throughout the trip. 2. Reykjanes Peninsula Volcanoes - **Current situation**: On April 1, 2025, the Songznuk volcanic zone erupted again (the 8th time in recent years), with a fissure up to 1,200 meters long and active lava flows. Currently, surrounding areas (such as the town of Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon) have been evacuated and tourists are advised to avoid the outbreak area. - **How ​​to watch**: You can take a helicopter to see the spectacular volcanic eruption (from a safe distance), or follow the real-time updates from the Icelandic Meteorological Office. 3. The Golden Circle - **Thingvellir National Park**: The boundary between the Eurasian and American plates, with magnificent graben landscape. - **Geysir**: Geothermal activity is frequent, erupting every few minutes and reaching a height of 40 meters. --- ### **Second, safety tips and latest developments** 1. **Avoidance of outbreak area**: - The eruption area and surrounding roads on the Reykjanes Peninsula are closed and entry is prohibited. Volcanic ash and harmful gases may affect health and evacuation orders from the Icelandic Civil Protection Department must be followed. 2. **Travel Advice**: - Follow the real-time warnings from the Icelandic Meteorological Office (vedur.is) and the Civil Protection and Emergency Management Authority (almannavarnir.is). - Avoid flying drones in no-fly zones. Violators will face heavy fines. --- ### **3. Volcano theme itinerary planning** **Recommended route (6 days and 5 nights)** - **Day 1-2: Reykjavik and surrounding areas** - Visit Hallgrímskirkja Church, Harpa Concert Hall and join a Northern Lights tour. - Relax at the Blue Lagoon (if open), paying attention to the evacuation of the outbreak area. - **Day 3-4: South Coast Adventure** - Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss (volcanic landforms and glacial meltwater interweave). - Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach (a glacial lagoon formed by volcanic activity). - **Day 5: Golden Circle Day Tour** - Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geyser. - **Day 6: Volcano Special Experience** - Expedition inside the Srinukkag volcano (book in advance) or helicopter tour over the Reykjanes Peninsula volcanoes. --- ### **Four. Practical Tips** 1. **Visa and Insurance**: A Schengen visa is required and it is recommended to purchase travel insurance that covers the risk of volcanic activity. 2. **Clothing and equipment**: waterproof and windproof jacket, non-slip hiking shoes, and helmet (essential for volcano exploration). 3. **Transportation**: It is recommended to rent a car (four-wheel drive is best), or choose a local volcano theme tour group. 4. **Accommodation**: - Blue Lagoon Silica Hotel (combination of hot springs and volcanic landscape). - The Reykjavik Edition Hotel (overlooking the city and volcanic landscape). --- ### **V. Linkage between volcanoes and surrounding landscapes** - **Geothermal hot springs**: Blue Lagoon, Myvatn Hot Spring (formed by volcanic geothermal resources). - **Black sand beach**: Reynisdrangar (volcanic rock weathering to form a black sand beach). - **Glacier Hike**: Vatnajökull Glacier (a wonder where volcanoes and glaciers coexist). --- **Summary**: Volcano tourism in Iceland requires a balance between adventure and safety.

Iceland's black sand beach (Reynisfjara) is a stunning natural sight. Walking on this black sand beach formed by volcanic activity, the scene before your eyes is unforgettable. Different from traditional golden beaches, the black sand here forms a sharp contrast with the azure blue water, and the scenery is magnificent and mysterious. The waves beat against the shore, sometimes violently, sometimes calmly, making you feel the power of nature. One of the most famous attractions on this beach is the Reynisdrangar Rock Pillars. These bizarre rocks stand out from the sea like mysterious guardians. According to Icelandic legend, these rock pillars are the product of ancient sirens or giants. Standing on the beach and looking at these rock pillars, it feels like you have traveled through time and become one with the story of nature. In addition, the caves and rock walls around the black sand beach are also full of unique charm, making people unable to help but take photos. Although this beach is known for its beauty, it also has its dangers, with strong waves and slippery black sand requiring tourists to be especially careful when visiting. In general, Iceland's black sand beach is a double shock to the eyes and senses, and it is a natural wonder that every traveler to Iceland must visit.

Visiting the famous DC-3 plane wreck on Solheimasandur Beach in Iceland is like stepping into a surreal, otherworldly scene. The abandoned aircraft, which crash-landed in 1973, sits in stark contrast against the black sands, creating a haunting yet captivating sight. Though it’s a bit of a trek—about a 45-minute walk from the nearest parking area—the journey is well worth it. Surrounded by Iceland’s wild landscapes, the wreck offers a unique photographic opportunity and a glimpse into the eerie beauty of nature reclaiming man-made history. 💰Average Price per Person: Free of charge ‼️ Need to pay the shuttle bus if you dont want to walk ‼️ 2500 - 3000 ISK (round trip) 📍Address: Solheimasandur Plane Wreck, Iceland #staycation #naturalwonders #thingstodo #visiticeland

I went to Solheimajökull. It is located along Route 1 in Iceland. It is about a 3-hour drive from Reykjavik Airport. There is no entrance fee, but parking is about 1,000 yen per car. This has become my favorite glacier in Iceland. After all, it is the closest place to the glacier. It takes 10 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the observation deck, and then another 20 minutes to walk to the glacier, where you can walk a little on the glacier. The experience of walking on a glacier is more fun than I thought, and it is not something I can do very often, so I recommend it. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/N5t2zRvyCSbZx4Bp6 #0yentravelFebruary2025 #Icelandroadtrip

🎶 Accident scene Human IQ is always not high enough no one can escape 🎶 But not this time 🙂↔️🙂↔️ It is said that in 1973, the US Navy soldiers found that the engine of the plane he was driving had extinguished due to frost 😖 The co-pilot was very brave and resourceful and successfully landed on the black beach, and no one was injured 🙂↕️🙂↕️ ‼ ️‼ ️Btw, many people thought heading to Iceland plane wreck, either join local tour, or drive to the parking lot and walk 45mins over. Actually it has a hidden version of the shuttle bus (~200hkd round trip). However, I think the view is very beautiful during the hike😚 📍 Solheimasandur Plane Wreck #globaltravel

Today I came to the famous Icelandic plane wreckage Solheimasandur Plane Wreck. I had heard about this attraction before I set off. You can choose to walk back and forth for 3~4 hours (more than 7 kilometers); you can also choose to pay for a shuttle bus. For the lazy me, I must pay for the shuttle bus, and I am very glad that I took it, because I saw many people waving and shouting to the car along the way. XD I can't imagine walking on a deserted black sand beach, whispering in my heart, "Are we going to arrive?" XD, and blowing the biting cold wind will really make me desperate hahaha Parking costs 750 ISK/unit This attraction is open 24 hours a day without anyone controlling it, but there is no lighting at all, which is terrible at night, and it is extremely likely to lose your way The shuttle bus runs from 10:00 to 17:00, every 30 minutes, and it takes 15 minutes to get to the plane wreckage one way #Global Travel

It is said that one day in 1973, American Navy soldiers were flying their planes happily and carefree, when suddenly! It was discovered that the aircraft engine had stalled due to frost! what to do? The soldiers were very anxious, worried, and scared. So where to land? Looking left and right, the pilot discovered that there was a large, uninhabited black beach in southern Iceland, so he made up his mind to land the plane safely. Finally, thanks to the pilot’s many years of flying experience and strong mental qualities, he safely “parked” the plane on the black sand beach by belly landing. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident, only the plane was destroyed. The pilot was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal for this. So the US Navy left (since it was very expensive to recover the entire aircraft at that time, they only recovered the machinery inside the aircraft), and the wreckage of the DC-3 Wreckage was left in Iceland. solheimasandur plane wreck 📍Address: Because it is private land, the wreckage cannot be reached directly by car. The free opening in the past has caused too much damage to nature. Now the only way to get to the wreckage is to park in a nearby parking lot and then walk or take a shuttle bus. The fee is SK2000/one way, SK3200/round trip. 💡 Note: This black sand beach is not the black sand beach (Reynisfjara) in Vik. The specific location of the plane wreckage is at 63°27’32.7″N 19°21’53.3″W.

In 1973, an American DC-3 plane made an emergency landing in Iceland. After years of wind and rain, the wreckage of the already broken fuselage became riddled with holes. The black sand and gravel add to the apocalyptic sadness. 📍Solheimasandur Plane Wreck

A visit to Iceland is like a visit to another planet. Spectacular sights that you don't see anywhere else. Smoldering earth, black beaches, angry mountains waiting to explode, serene grass lands; tranquility and raw nature in a breathtaking blend.#naturalwonders #iceland #volcano #blackbeach #reykjavik

-Dyrhólaey Viewpoint, a giant arch-shaped sea cave It was formed by a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. It is 120 meters high. The arch is even large enough for fishing boats to pass through. It is also very beautiful when viewed from a distance, which makes people marvel at the magic of nature. When viewing the sea caves, you will see the century-old lighthouse Dyrhólaey Lighthouse in the last picture. -Reynisfjara Beach Black Sand Beach Iceland's Black Sand Beach was once voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with rough waves, black sand and gravel, and the black sand is what makes it uniquely Icelandic. The waves and sea breezes erode not ordinary stones, but lava particles from the eruption of Katla volcano. There are also basalt cliffs and bizarre sea stacks on the side. As it was late that day, we didn't have time to go to the beach to have a close look, which was a pity of this trip. Tip: Black sand is very permeable, making it difficult to see the boundary and easy to get too close to the sea. The waves in Iceland are very strong and windy, so be careful not to get swept away by the waves. #GlobalTravel #Iceland

Finally I found a tour group that suits my taste. In fact, when you arrive in Iceland, you will find that there are tour groups, websites, etc. everywhere, not just the ones that everyone is familiar with. I really think this is very good, with high cost performance and sentimental value, and the attractions are also very good. There is a toilet on the business bus and the activity time is also flexible. The first attraction was this waterfall, which was the second waterfall I saw in Iceland and it was very spectacular. Moreover, the river is shallow and the flow is not fast, so you can set up equipment in the river for filming. Looking back, you can see a faint rainbow 🌈. I love being close to nature and this waterfall is currently my second favorite. The driver drove to Figure 4-6 and asked us to take photos with him. The location here is very good for taking photos. I have to say he really understands. The black sand beach photographed here has a hazy beauty, and there is also a sea of ​​flowers. Many boys take photos and videos of the sea of ​​flowers for their partners. Figure 5 is the driver’s car. The second attraction is the black sand beach. The souvenirs here are so cute! And there are some very cost-effective things. I didn't buy it simply because I was too lazy to take it home. The things in the coffee shop are very expensive, after all, it is a tourist attraction. The black sand beach on this side is more beautiful than the other side, which is bare. I only included Picture 11. I don’t think the others are anything special. They are all over-promoted pictures on the Internet. It looks average on the spot. I thought I was done after seeing the glacier, but there was a surprise waterfall. The next article will update the final chapter of Iceland. You can hike on the glacier, but I felt that my shoes were not suitable and I didn't want to rent their shoes, so I didn't buy a tour ticket that included hiking. This glacier is very different as it is pitch black and the water is quite dirty but it has a unique flavor. It is possible to hike up close to the glacier and then climb back down. Pay attention to safety and bring climbing equipment if possible. Don't be like me and go to Iceland wearing a hoodie, sweatpants, hiking shoes and a backpack without any preparation. But it’s not so cold that you can’t bear it. You know the temperature yourself and act according to your physical fitness.

Glacier hiking is a must-do activity when traveling to Iceland. The round trip takes about three hours, and wearing crampons while climbing up and down the slopes is more physically demanding than expected. Despite the icy conditions, you might even break a sweat. Along the way, you'll be treated to the stunning views of the Sólheimajökull Glacier, making the effort worthwhile. Due to global warming, glaciers around the world are continuously shrinking, so if you're interested, you should act quickly. Although it's possible to do this activity on a self-drive tour, for safety reasons, it's recommended to join a reliable and experienced tour group that can quickly respond to any unexpected situations.

Where to watch puffins in Iceland??? I, who have toured Iceland for puffins, must recommend Borgarfjörður eystri This is considered the easternmost part of Iceland I just floored the accelerator 10H drive, arrived in one day! At 4 AM and 4 PM Saw puffins heading out to sea to forage and returning from foraging There are really, really many here You can totally get up close. The premise is not to disturb them Just quietly appreciate the scenery and the cute little cuties Besides that Other recommended places to watch puffins in Iceland are also listed for you: Dyrholaey (the best to visit, there will be closing times during the nesting period) Látrabjarg (cliff sea view! Extremely spectacular!) Ingólfshöfði (need to sign up for a bird watching group to see) Lundey (an island full of puffins! The name means Puffin Island, most likely only accessible by boat) Öxarfjörður (quite niche, I haven't been there) Vestmannaeyjabaer (the scenery of Westman Islands is worth more than bird watching)

After watching the show, I was so excited that I went to many places ✈️ The memories that had been slowly fading away suddenly came alive again ❤️‍🔥 It inspired me to share my travel guides and interesting things about the 50+ countries I have visited🔥Let’s start with Iceland and Europe👉 🗓️Which month is suitable to visit Iceland? ✅One is the summer from June to August with mild climate and long sunshine ☀️ ✅If you want to see the aurora and blue ice caves, it is best to go from October to December. Later in the month, the polar night slowly begins and there are only a few hours of sunshine each day. We went there in late October and early November. Not only did we see the Northern Lights for several nights, we also caught up with the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival🎵 🚗Itinerary: Because I was with a self-driving photography group led by a photographer📷 Everyone was chasing light and shadow with their cameras, so we might have stayed in the same place for sunset the first night🌄Woke up early the next day to wait for sunrise🌅We did the entire Iceland Grand Loop and stayed for two full weeks, which was a very in-depth tour Day 1️⃣ Geyser and Stroko geysers (Figure 12) are really amazing😇 Every few minutes, the water column feels close to ten meters➡️ Gullfoss (Figure 13) is also spectacular. The rushing water forms mist around. It is the filming location of Prometheus Day 2️⃣ Seljalandsfoss (Picture 1) The most beautiful water cave in Iceland, but it was windy and foggy inside. I was soaked all over after walking around 😂. Be sure to wear waterproof clothes ⚠️➡️ Skogafoss (Picture 2) I was so lucky to see a rainbow due to the refraction of sunlight ➡️ DC-3 plane wreckage (Pictures 1 and 3) It felt like the end of the world. There was a doomsday atmosphere. Please note that the one-way hike takes an hour ⚠️ Day 3️⃣ Arrive at the Black Sand Beach early in the morning and wait for the sunrise (Pictures 4, 5, 6)➡️Dyrholaey Lighthouse is nearby (Pictures 7, 8) Day4️⃣ Skaftafell National Park (Pictures 1, 11) The five-hour glacier hike is really strenuous. I wore steel spikes the whole time and was afraid of slipping with every step. When I was thirsty, I chiseled some ice cubes and melted them in my mouth. The blue ice cave (Pictures 1, 9, 10) changes every year, so a professional guide is needed. It is not as obvious as the photos. I will continue to talk about the pictures in the next issue.

Iceland has the highest number of Puffins in the world accounting for 60% of the world's puffin population In other words, there are 8 million to 10 million Puffins that call Iceland their home😆 That’s why many people call the parrot the national bird of Iceland (Although Iceland’s national bird is actually Gyrfalcon) They fly out of Iceland to spend the winter at sea every winter They return to Iceland to nest every summer There are chances to find Puffin in the following places! South coast of Iceland Dyrhólaey, Ingólfshöfði, Westman islands, Lundey Eastern Iceland Borgarfjörður Eystri Westfjord, Iceland Látrabjarg Bird Watching Cape Northwest Iceland Hornbjarg, Hornstrandir, Hælavíkurbjarg Western Iceland Breiðafjörður We have been to Westfjord before, although it is a bird watching paradise but there were relatively few Puffins 🥹🥹 However, this time I went to the east to see much more! Occasionally there will be one or two ~ There are many foreigners waiting with us 💓
