I have always wanted to see ice in Iceland. In this country, there is a cold air in the name. After I came to Watner Glacier National Park, I really had an experience. The scene in front of me was really shocked. For a country that has not been to the north. For Jiangnan baby, everything in front of him is a bit too dreamy. The glacier of Nuoda is endless. The surface is a bit gray. But in the distance is the blue of the sea and the sky. The first time I felt that the color of ice and snow was a bit good-looking. Since I came here for a thousand miles, the ice experience is indispensable. Less equipment or boarding the ice for a short walk or wearing a cold suit, sitting in a speedboat and strolling around the lake are excellent experiences. There are many choices in the visitor center. Choose one to experience it. It will definitely be a worthwhile trip.
Take a guide car for more than half an hour and walk for more than 40 minutes to reach the ice cave formed this year. Blue Ice Cave is a naturally formed ice cave under the Watana glacier, melting in summer and forming new ice caves in winter, the shape varies every year.
Vatna, in southeastern Iceland, is the largest national park and nature reserve in Iceland. It combines glaciers, volcanoes, canyons, forests and waterfalls with spectacular views.
Located in the southeast of Fahsa Bay in Western Iceland, the highest latitude capital in the world, it is the largest port city in Iceland. Affected by the North Atlantic Warm Current, the climate is mild. In July and August, the temperature is 12 degrees Celsius, and in January, it is 12 degrees Celsius, with an average annual temperature of 4.3 degrees Celsius. Iceland is not ice. Icelandic volcanoes are widely distributed. Because they are located on the plate and at the junction of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, they have frequent geological activities. Most of the volcanoes are active volcanoes, which can erupt at any time. Because of the unique geographical environment, the world's unique natural law landscape has been created. Let's share the world's fairyland:
Watana Glacier National Park, Iceland. Glaciers in national parks are seen by boat. Ships sail in glaciers for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and the scenery is very beautiful. These glaciers formed over thousands and hundreds of years. Some have been washed ashore by sea water, turned into ice diamonds on the beach shining in the sun, showing off their beauty... The environment here looks beautiful [roses].
Really good, great. You must go see it in your lifetime. Like 👍
