Solheimajökull (glacier) - Iceland

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

I have finally reached to day 3 with my Iceland travel posts. On that morning we visited the first glacier on our way that was kinda close to a campsite where we stayed last night. I had never seen glacier before with my own eyes so the sight was pretty surreal to me. For the record, jökull means glacier in Icelandic. This glacier is named Solheimajökull and is located on the south coast between the volcanoes Katla and Eyjafjallajökkull. This glacier is one of the main tourist sightseeing places because it is relatively easy to access there.

I believe all of you know what the glacier is. Very shortly it's a mass of ice that slides down along the mountainside.
I'll describe the process a little longer in a future post where I actually went on a hike on the glacier itself.

It should be common sense that you can't go on a hike to glacier if you don't have a proper equipment, otherwise you will die!
Here is a sign for you!

The picture of the scenes shows a beautiful view of photography. The picture that can be painted with color of human imagination seems to be more natural. The painting is no longer in color and color. Photography is also limited to camera frames. Like technology and rich imagination of human imagination
