Exploring the Majestic Langjökull Glacier and Icelandic Horses

On the third day of our Icelandic adventure, we embarked on a two-hour journey north of Reykjavik, eagerly anticipating our encounter with the magnificent Langjökull Glacier. This vast ice cap, the second largest in Iceland, dominates the west of the Icelandic interior, standing proudly in the Highlands. En route, we were greeted by the charming Icelandic horses, a breed unique to the country. Join us as we delve into our thrilling glacier adventure and immerse ourselves in the wonders of nature.

Icelandic Horses: Small, Hardy, and Beloved: Before reaching our glacier destination, we were captivated by the sight of Icelandic horses grazing in the countryside. These sturdy and endearing creatures are the only horse breed in Iceland, owing to strict laws prohibiting the import of horses and the return of exported animals. Despite their small stature, Icelandic horses are known for their resilience and longevity, embodying the spirit of this rugged land.

'Into the Glacier' Adventure: Unveiling the Glacier's Secrets: Arriving at Haukadalur, we eagerly joined the 'Into the Glacier' tour, brimming with anticipation for the adventure that awaited us. Our journey began with a thrilling monster truck ride, traversing the icy expanse and ascending onto the glacier. Bundled up in our warmest attire, we took each step with excitement, ready to explore the heart of the Langjökull Glacier.

Stepping into the Glacier's Realm: As we set foot on the glacier, our experienced guides led us to a remarkable man-made ice cave, the largest of its kind in the world. This ethereal ice tunnel allowed us to delve deep into the glacier's frozen realm, unveiling its hidden wonders. Inside, we marveled at the intricate network of crevasses and waterways, witnessing different layers of the glacier that bore the weight of history and time.

Learning and Adventure in Harmony: The 'Into the Glacier' tour provided us with a wealth of knowledge about glaciers and their mesmerizing formations. With every step, we gained a deeper understanding of these natural phenomena, appreciating their immense significance in shaping the Icelandic landscape. Our guides shared fascinating insights, enriching our experience and fostering a sense of awe for the power and beauty of glaciers.

Sunlit Waterfalls: Hraunfossar and Barnafossar: Returning to our hotel, we were greeted by a glimpse of sunshine, illuminating our path as we made a stop at the captivating Hraunfossar waterfalls. These stunning falls derive their water from the Langjökull Glacier, creating a mesmerizing display of cascading streams flowing through the lava formations. As we stood in awe of nature's artistry, we couldn't resist exploring the nearby Barnafossar, another enchanting waterfall, adding to the splendor of our day.

Conclusion: Day three proved to be a remarkable chapter in our Icelandic journey, as we ventured to the Langjökull Glacier and embraced the unique charm of Icelandic horses. Our 'Into the Glacier' adventure allowed us to step into the icy depths of this majestic natural wonder, immersing ourselves in its secrets and witnessing the breathtaking beauty hidden within. From the awe-inspiring ice cave to the sun-kissed Hraunfossar and Barnafossar waterfalls, each moment was a testament to the indescribable splendor of Iceland's landscapes. As we retire for the evening, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the experiences we've had, eagerly anticipating the adventures that lie ahead on our Icelandic odyssey.

Birthday Cruise

We had a wonderful experience using Johnnie Herring at Vincent Vacations to book a cruise for us. She was able to find a cruise leaving from the location that we requested and in the time frame that we needed. Johnnie took care of every detail. Found us a great deal, so we were able to enjoy a balcony room. She stayed in touch with us to be sure we didn't miss any details. I usually book all my own trips. This was a much better experience and look forward to using Johnnie in the future.
