    I came to Iceland to see ice. In this country whose name contains a chill, I finally experienced it after I came to Vatnajökull National Park. To be honest, the scene in front of me was really shocking. For a kid from the south of the Yangtze River who has not even been to the north, everything in front of me was a bit too dreamy. The huge glacier was endless. The surface was a bit gray, but in the distance, the sea and sky were blue. For the first time, I felt that the color of ice and snow was actually pretty. Since I came all the way here, it is essential to experience ice. Put on equipment, or go on the ice for a short walk, or put on cold-proof clothes, take a speedboat and stroll around the lake. They are all excellent experiences. There are many options in the visitor center. Choose one and experience it. It will definitely be worth the trip.

    The waterfall is located on Iceland's Highway 1. The surrounding area is covered with green grass in summer and snow in winter. The scenery is charming and fascinating. The waterfall is shaped like a hoof and the water falls straight down!

    This is a natural hot spring in the Myvatn scenic area in northern Iceland. The water comes from the cracks of underground volcanic lava. It is rich in minerals and has a very good health care effect on the skin. Unlike the Blue Lagoon Hot Spring near the Capital Airport, the water here is fresh water.

    Dettifoss has a large amount of water and you can find the waterfall just by listening to the sound of the water. Indeed, when the river passes through the desolate area, the strong water flow carries mud and sand over the 44-meter cliff, and its momentum is really amazing.

    Highway 1 is a must-go road to Iceland. The road is mostly covered with grasslands. The scenery is not special, but it is very interesting to see such a vibrant scene at the northern end of the earth.

    Akreli is Iceland's second largest city, but it looks like a small town. The cathedral in the city center is not big, but the architectural style of the church is very Icelandic, located on a small hillside, the scenery is not bad.

    春风不曾谋面春风不曾谋面

    The Lava Labyrinth (also known as the Black Castle) is adjacent to Lake Myvatn and is full of exaggerated and bizarre rock structures and caves. It is often called the Gate to Hell. In the early 1940s, local farmers handed over the area to the government, which built stone fences, planted turf to stabilize the gravel, and repaired it, which became the current state of Dimmuborgir. There are three trails in Dimmuborgir. You have to walk the largest Church Circle to see the Lava Church.
