Around the top of the World, Day 19: Roaming SE Iceland
Iceland's major National Park, containing and named for Vatnajökull, the largest Glacier in Europe, is the subject of this video. It's more than just a lot of ice. There is a special south-facing mountainside where I had an almost magical experience walking a lush forest of stunted European whte birch trees. Then there was Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach, where remnants of icebergs from the glaciers glisten like jewels on the deep black sand. Everything shown here happened on the same day - the second of six on my Ring Road tour of the country.
A full report, complete with still photos is to be found at my new WordPress blog. I'm gradually migrating there because WordPress offers more flexibility and features than Blogger. Although I've yet to fully exploit most of those bells and whistles, I'm ever hopeful. Check it out.
