Jökulsárlón Iceberg
Polar bears need icy waters and are mostly found in Greenland. Occasionally, they drift from Greenland to Iceland on icebergs.
Sky Lagoon:
Wow, the lagoon was amazing! The water felt so nice on my body.
Every time I jumped in for a cold plunge, I wanted to do it again. I discovered breathwork while trying out those plunges — breathe with intention
Arctic char:
I also noticed how open I am to talking to others, making friends and starting conversations. Bdw food is so delicious.

The weather kept changing every 5 minutes. One moment it was sunny, then it was snowy, windy and then it started raining.
Facts I learned from local people:
- Vatnajokull is Iceland and Europe’s biggest glacier, reaching a thickness of 1km. Beneath it lies a volcano.
- Puffins go to South Africa in the winter to find food and return to Iceland in the spring and summer to nest, typically from May onwards.
- The volcano named Katla is located in Iceland, and it is associated with a female name.
- A ridge is a geological feature consisting of elevated land. We drove through a mountain area where there was hot water flowing underneath the ground.
- Reykjavik — Smoky Bay
