Today was a very interesting day we went and saw a part of a bridge that had been broken off when the river flooded because of an erupting volcano which caused the glacier to melt in 1996.
Then we went to a glacier lagoon where we got on a boat and went around the lagoon seeing icebergs and glaciers all around, it was amazing. Also we got to eat some ice which was 1000 years old!
Shortly after that we went to the beach which was quite different to beaches most of us are used to! On the beach there were icebergs which had been washed up onto shore and been left there to die (ie, they will eventually either melt or get washed out to sea!). We saw a French women making her music video and got into a spot of bother for walking too close to her video filming. We then hurried to our next experience. This next one was a long walk along rivers. The views were extraordinary, we finished the walk after 3 1/2 hours which was great fun as the views were amazing.
After that we had a short trip to a place where we watched a short video on the glaciers of Iceland, then we returned back to the hotel after a long but very interesting day.
