Iceland


 We went to the Blue Lagoon. The chalky blue water comes from deep in the earth and is here because of the geothermal power plant.  It was beautiful and hot.  They also had chalky suncreen.


Seljalandsfoss is a water fall that you can go behind.  It was really fun and wet.  




Gulfoss was a really big water fall.  We had to hike up a lot of stairs to get to the top.  It was beautiful.


At the black beach at Vik Myrdal.  All the rocks were hexagon pillars because of a volcanic eruption.  And all the sand is black.  We ran from the waves for hours.

Glacier Lagoon had tons and tons of ice bergs.  I smashed one thin sheet on my head.  Dad freaked out.   We watched them float out to ocean.  





Again he rocks are hexagon pillars.  The water has weathered the rocks. 



This is a volcanic crater that is not active.  It has a lake of water that is half covered in ice.  





We also built a snowman at our hotel.  we only had one rock for the eye.  Over night it started to lean. but it didn't melt.   





Gullfaus waterfall was huge+large+big=amazing.  It was cold too.

I really enjoyed seeing the fire and ice of Iceland.
