"A successful man is someone who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of others and the love of children; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty ; who always looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. "
- a variation of "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Iceland Adventure - Langjokull Glacier

A monster truck took us into the second largest glacier in Europe!  And we were in an ice cave!  See the big disk cloud over the glacier, you know what to expect on the glacier!











Iceland Adventure - The Wonders of Snaefellsnes

Snaefellsnes Peninsula's nature is strikingly beautiful.  There are so much to explore in a day! 

Eldborg Crater
We started with an hour long hike to Eldborg Crater.  Yes, an hour hike is not a problem for my boys.  They were super excited about hiking to this most picturesque volcano in Iceland! 









Gerduberg Basalt Columns



 

Raudfeldar Canyon - a troll grave cave

This is the most spooky canyon or place I have ever been to!  The fact that I screamed out of the crack says something.  You should experience it yourself!



Arnarstapi-Hellnar









Snaefellsnes Glacier


Grudarfjordur

This is the most amazing mountain I have ever seen!  From different angles, this mountain looks totally different!  Situated by the ocean, this is the most picturesque scene in Iceland!

Iceland Adventure - The Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is the most popular site to visit if you have a short stay in Iceland. 

Volcano Crater Kerid




Geyser Hot Spring



Gullfoss Waterfalls







Thingvellir National Park

This National Park is truly an amazing place to visit.  The 8 kilometer long eruptive fissure opened up the stunning rock formations.  Lake Thingvallavatn with the golden fall color as the backdrop is the most beautiful picture you can paint.
