“15-meter-tall monolith or sea-stack, an eroded volcanic dyke. The legend goes that Hvítserkur is a petrified troll. The troll lived in Strandir in the Wesfjords and wanted to tear down the bells at the Þingeyraklaustur convent. The Icelandic trolls are not Christian and don't like the sound or sight of churches or church bells. Fortunately, the troll got caught by the first rays of the sun and, as we all know, then trolls turn into stone by daylight” https://guidetoiceland.is/connect-with-locals/regina/hvitserkur-up-north

The waterfall is on the left, the right shows the layers of basalt columns. "It is safe to say that Svartifoss is one of Iceland’s best-known waterfalls, thanks to the way in which it is beautifully framed by unusually symmetric, thick basalt columns. These columns were formed about 300,000 years ago, when lava flowed down the Skaftafellsheiði plain and filled an old riverbed. As it slowly cooled down, the rock contracted and then split into columns that stand perpendicular to the cooling surface." https://www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is/en/areas/skaftafell/destination-svartifoss Svartifoss ("Black Falls") in Iceland's Vatnajökulsþjóðgarður was formed around 300,000 years ago by volcanic activity

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon taken from a boat. The sky is blue with a few white clouds, there are icebergs floating in the water and the glacier and mountains are in the distance. “The icebergs that break away from Jökulsárlón Glacier and fall into the lagoon slowly melt and drift out to sea, where the North Atlantic waves polish them before being washed ashore on the jet-black beach called Breidamerkursandur which is known as the Diamond Beach. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Facts: With a maximum depth of 814 feet (248 meters), Jokulsarlon is Iceland's deepest lake. Jokulsarlon's surface area measures 11.2 square miles (18 square kilometers). The icebergs in Jokulsarlon are composed of ice that is over 1,000 years old. Jokulsarlon glacier first started forming in 1934, when the Breidamerkurjokull glacier started retreating, leaving the lagoon in its path. This glacial lagoon has increased fourfold since the early 1970s. The lagoon connects with the ocean and is composed of seawater and freshwater. This is what creates the unique color. Seals can be seen in Jokulsarlon year-round, but they flock to the lagoon’s mouth to catch fish in the winter.” https://guidetoiceland.is/nature-info/jokulsarlon-glacier-lagoon-the-crown-jewel-of-iceland-s-nature

Grábrók is a dormant volcanic crater created over 3000 years ago. Today, you can walk around its rim. It's right along the Ring Road, north of Reykjavík, near Bifröst. The climb up is well worth the views! #Iceland #IcelandAdventure #IcelandTrip #RingRoad #Volcano #VolcanicCrater
Goðafoss is found right along the Ring Road, making it an easy stop between Lake Mývatn and Akureyri. It's a beautiful waterfall you can view from both sides of the river. #Iceland #IcelandTrip #IcelandAdventure #Wanderlust #RingRoad #Waterfalls
The drive between Reykjavík and Akureyri is beautiful. You'll go through mountain passes, fjords, and breathtaking landscapes. It's one of my favorite drives. Here's a peek: #Iceland #IcelandAdventure #IcelandTrip #RoadTrip #RingRoad #Akureyri #Wanderlust

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon “The lagoon formed naturally from melted glacial water and continues to grow as ice blocks crumble from the ever-shrinking glacier. As Jokulsarlon increases in size, the retreating glacier visibly demonstrates the effects of global warming, with noticeable receding year after year. This makes the lagoon and the nearby glacier tongue even more unique, as they will look different each time you visit them. The icebergs that break away from the glacier and fall into the lagoon slowly melt and drift out to sea, where the North Atlantic waves polish them before being washed ashore on the jet-black beach called Breidamerkursandur which is known as the Diamond Beach.
