Today was all about ice, lots of it available here. Go figure. We started the day with a boat tour of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. The ice here is 1000 years old (only) which is a fact that surprised me. In fact the glaciers in Iceland are only about 2000 years old, did not exist when the first settlers arrived. I thought they were much, much older. After the tour we spent some time on the nearby blacksand beach which is covered with ice. A million pieces of art exist here, my camera got a workout. After the beach we spent some time at the more isolated Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon which is smaller than Jökulsárlón and does not have an outlet to the sea. Fewer people come here, there is a boat tour here as well using a Zodiac boat. More intimate and allowing you to get much closer to the main glacier than the Jökulsárlón some may enjoy it more. The facilities at Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon have been recently upgraded and are now superior to facilities at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon so the traffic here is going to pick up soon.
Gonna miss this place.
