I went to Solheimajökull. It is located along Route 1 in Iceland. It is about a 3-hour drive from Reykjavik Airport. There is no entrance fee, but parking is about 1,000 yen per car. This has become my favorite glacier in Iceland. After all, it is the closest place to the glacier. It takes 10 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the observation deck, and then another 20 minutes to walk to the glacier, where you can walk a little on the glacier. The experience of walking on a glacier is more fun than I thought, and it is not something I can do very often, so I recommend it. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/N5t2zRvyCSbZx4Bp6 #0yentravelFebruary2025 #Icelandroadtrip

Finally I found a tour group that suits my taste. In fact, when you arrive in Iceland, you will find that there are tour groups, websites, etc. everywhere, not just the ones that everyone is familiar with. I really think this is very good, with high cost performance and sentimental value, and the attractions are also very good. There is a toilet on the business bus and the activity time is also flexible. The first attraction was this waterfall, which was the second waterfall I saw in Iceland and it was very spectacular. Moreover, the river is shallow and the flow is not fast, so you can set up equipment in the river for filming. Looking back, you can see a faint rainbow 🌈. I love being close to nature and this waterfall is currently my second favorite. The driver drove to Figure 4-6 and asked us to take photos with him. The location here is very good for taking photos. I have to say he really understands. The black sand beach photographed here has a hazy beauty, and there is also a sea of ​​flowers. Many boys take photos and videos of the sea of ​​flowers for their partners. Figure 5 is the driver’s car. The second attraction is the black sand beach. The souvenirs here are so cute! And there are some very cost-effective things. I didn't buy it simply because I was too lazy to take it home. The things in the coffee shop are very expensive, after all, it is a tourist attraction. The black sand beach on this side is more beautiful than the other side, which is bare. I only included Picture 11. I don’t think the others are anything special. They are all over-promoted pictures on the Internet. It looks average on the spot. I thought I was done after seeing the glacier, but there was a surprise waterfall. The next article will update the final chapter of Iceland. You can hike on the glacier, but I felt that my shoes were not suitable and I didn't want to rent their shoes, so I didn't buy a tour ticket that included hiking. This glacier is very different as it is pitch black and the water is quite dirty but it has a unique flavor. It is possible to hike up close to the glacier and then climb back down. Pay attention to safety and bring climbing equipment if possible. Don't be like me and go to Iceland wearing a hoodie, sweatpants, hiking shoes and a backpack without any preparation. But it’s not so cold that you can’t bear it. You know the temperature yourself and act according to your physical fitness.

Glacier hiking is a must-do activity when traveling to Iceland. The round trip takes about three hours, and wearing crampons while climbing up and down the slopes is more physically demanding than expected. Despite the icy conditions, you might even break a sweat. Along the way, you'll be treated to the stunning views of the Sólheimajökull Glacier, making the effort worthwhile. Due to global warming, glaciers around the world are continuously shrinking, so if you're interested, you should act quickly. Although it's possible to do this activity on a self-drive tour, for safety reasons, it's recommended to join a reliable and experienced tour group that can quickly respond to any unexpected situations.

One eighth of Iceland's land area is covered by glaciers. It is truly a kingdom of ice. The famous Vatnajökull glacier is ranked in the top three in the world. If you want to visit Iceland and explore the glaciers, You must experience hiking on the black and white! Go to the blue sky to see the rugged ice! Go below and explore the mysterious blue ice cave! Going to ride a snowmobile! We also need to see the "accessories" of the glacier - the glacial lake and the diamond beach Such a trip This must be the most accurate interpretation of "Iceland"!
