That's why they call it ICEland - Jökulsárlón

Góðan daginn,

yesterday morning we wanted to go and check if there is actually some ice in good old iceland.... and yes, we found a lot of it. There is a glacier tongue which ends in a river, which of course leads to the ocean. And in the bay the tongue ends in the river there are a lot of f***ing huge ice cubes in the water.
I guess I found some ice.
The place is called Jökulsárlón.



They told us that James Bond also visited one time this beautiful bay to ship around. But I guess to that time there was more ice. Nowadays there is just 10 % of the original ice cubes. 
We paid around 20 € per person for the amphibian vehicle tour. It took about 40 min and it was totally fun. 
We started by using the wheels and ended up needing the ship engine.
We just checked the bay from the riverside and later we jumped on the amphibian vehicle. 

 Even the super cold bay was full of animal life. 





 Yes it was as cold as it looks like!

I wanna touch it!
