#6 Iceland : Eldhraun, The Mossy Lava Field in Iceland

Eldhraun Lava Field

The Land of Fire and Ice. Just like the name, we expected to see the volcanic and glacial activity in Iceland. We can see glacial activity in Vatnajökull National Park and Jökulsárlón, but, for volcanic acitivity, we have to have enough fortune because the timing of volcanic activity is unpredictable. However, we can always see the evidence of this massive activity through the remain lava flows that froze and form a lava field in Iceland.

#4 Iceland : Vatnajökull National Park

Skaftafell

Dari Vík kami melanjutkan perjalanan ke campsite pertama kami di Skaftafell tjaldsvæði yang ada di kawasan Vatnajökull National Park. Vatnajökull adalah glacier terbesar di Eropa dengan luas sebesar 81.000 km persegi. Sedihnya, luasannya tiap hari berkurang sedikit demi sedikit karena climate change. Katanya, kita adalah generasi terakhir bisa melihat langsung glacier di sini. Vatnajökull yang kita lihat hari ini jauh lebih kecil ukurannya dibandingkan beberapa tahun yang lalu.
