Land of the Vikings - Day 5

by kaleo.fp

Vatnajökull National Park day! I was actually so scared of this, but I said to myself you have to walk on the glacier cause you might never get the chance again. We put on our hiking boots and walk on the glacier with these spikes that remind me of Wolverine lmao. 

The awesome British tour guide moves every 6 months to travel as much as he can (he’s 22 btw). Arron the tour guide actually loves Kaleo too! But anyway we hiked on this glacier for 6 hours and it was so beautiful, but thank God I didn't fall into a crevasse and die… that’s what I was scared about lol.  After leaving the glacier we went to this really cool place called Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon. It’s a lake with turquoise icebergs in the water of course. Unfortunately we were on the wrong side so we got yelled at by these scientists. We still didn't go on the right side afterwards, but we saw the same stuff as them anyway. Afterwards we were planning on going to Hali which is 15 minutes away but since I'm co-pilot I messed up for once in my life. We ended up driving 1 hour to Höfn! I had never messed up giving directions, but I guess I ran out of luck. We drove back to Hali and slept there.
