This morning was our ice cave and glacier walk hiking!
The meeting point was at Skaftafell as well, the same place we went trails yesterday.
We booked with Iceland Mountain Guides and the guide that day was really friendly and explained everything so well.
Unfortunately they told us beforehand that the ice cave is unsafe due to weather conditions so we had a refund back of our money. So sad.
We spent quite a bit of time gearing up and double checking that we put on correctly and the technique when walking on ice.
Walking on glacier was really an experience for me. How often you get a chance to do this?! And seeing our nature forms, the climate change resulting in the ice structure changes, I appreciate even more the impact of global warming.
Vatnajolull is the largest glacier in Iceland, and one of the largest in Europe, covering more the 8 percent of the country. Under the ice cap are several volcanoes and volcanic lakes.
This was where the Game of Thrones was filmed!
Can't remember what we did after that....
During dinner time, we went to Systrakaffi restaurant along our way to hotel. There's a tiny small supermarket if you need to stock up food, and also petrol.
The food was surprisingly nice!

Fresh water from the glacier that is totally safe to drink. It's COLD.
