We booked a tour w/ IcelandAir (part of their packages) and it was an amazing experience. Our tour guide was funny and very informative. We learned a lot about the glaciers. "what the glacier takes, it always returns....albeit, in 5 yrs or so, and always in a new location" due to their always evolving nature. Getting there: Our bus came... More

Standing next to it and looking underneath, you really appreciate just how huge this single sheet of ice is. It's been... More
