Iceland Part 3

Our next day started with a visit to this troll rock thing called Hvitserku. The road was very bumpy to get there and Cameron and I were in the back of the van--we felt like our brains got scrambled.


This is the Glanni Waterfall.


This is Kirkjufell and its waterfall. 



We arrived at Arnarstapi that night and began our exploration of what we called the "Snuffleufflegus Peninsula" (which is really the Snaefellsnes Peninsula). We did this cool walk/hike from Arnarstapi to Hellnar and it was so so beautiful.








We all felt like it looked like where the trolls live in Frozen.


Just stunning! I did a beautiful run here the next morning by myself and it was breathtaking.

We started the next day by exploring the Snaefellsjokul National Park. Here we are at the crater with one of our favorite pictures from the trip. :)

The pretty black sand beach in the national park.



We started getting more adventurous with our picture poses at this point in the trip. This is from when we did a cool walk/hike that took us to the Malarrif Lighthouse.





Just the coolest landscape. This whole area was one of my favorites. Walking along the cliffs was so beautiful.

We stopped by the Raudfeldsgja Gorge.

You could climb up inside. It was very cold and snowy inside. Very cool!

We ended the day back in Reykjavik and bid farewell to our big van.

We booked a late night ATV tour for our last night! I think it started around 9 PM and we didn't get home til midnight or so.




About the darkest it ever got.

At the top of some mountain overlook. :)

Love this crazy bunch!

Extremely tired the next morning on the way to the airport.

Made it back to SLC! We had the most incredible trip and feel so grateful we got to explore such a beautiful part of the world with these wonderful friends.
