Our original plans for Iceland did not include Jökulsárlón, even after I knew that there would be gigantic icebergs spotting the lake which were things I have only ever dreamed about. This particular day, however, our plans were to snorkel between the North American and European tectonic plates. Iceland decided to have a beautiful snow filled blizzard instead, where we received a phone call explaining the circumstances, therefore, leaving us with a free afternoon. We were staying in Reykjavik, and decided 10 hours was well worth seeing where arctic mermaids live. It took five hours to get there and fives hours back and boy...it was stunning. Jökulsárlón seems to be untouched by man. Icebergs filled the lake while bouncing off blue light making them look like aquamarine stones. Visiting Jökulsárlón made me realize even more how precious mother nature is and how we must make efforts to preserve what she has given us. I really hope that future generations will be able to visit and feel the awe and amazement I was able to when I came.
