Day 7: 16 May: Langjokull Glacier

May 16 Monday
Today,  I drank chocolate milk on a Glacier whilst riding in a NATO truck,  previously mounted with a missile launcher.

Langjokull Glacier


Today,  we visited a Glacier. We road in former NATO trucks. We traverses ice and streams with ease.


During our visit on the glacier,  we entered an ice cave with our guide.  Clad in crampons and our warmest layers,  we explored the deep blue and milky white caverns...allthewhile listening to the drip of the glacier melting.




After the glacier,  we went to Hraunfossar Barnafoss waterfalls

Hot Springs
Earlier in the day,  we visited Deildartunguhvev thermal spring; it has the largest output in the world.
At the spring,  there was a lovable black and white sheepdog that appeared to be more closely related to dog than sheep.



We then went to Reykholt and Snori's bathing pool.



We got back very late and had a dinner at midnight.
