We started Sunday with Sólheimajökull glacier walk to photo some vantage points without a formal tour. The second stop was Reynisfjara Beach, a black sand beach with vertical basalt columns with big waves that can sneak up on you.
We then hiked in the Fjaorargljfur canyon to the edge of the canyon, stand on a viewing platform l, and see the stunning vista over the whole area (Appeared in Justin Bieber’s video – I’ll Show You).
The 4th stop was Svartlfoss in skaftafell national park, for a 45-min shorter trek to Svartifoss or "black waterfall" with black hexagonal basalt columns surrounding the 20m tall waterfall.
The last stop was Jökulsárlón Glacier Ice Lagoon (ice-blue icebergs floating in a lagoon in front of an enormous glacier) and Its outlet to the ocean: Diamond Beach (with pieces of ice that have broken off the icebergs litter the black sands).
I drove 300 km today and felt sleepy in the afternoon from jet lag; however finished with a hiking break then we checked in a nice hotel with private bath.
