The Polar Bear

If you don't know, the polar bear is waking up before dawn and jumping in the ocean. It's frequently done at summer camp. I can't help but think about an actual polar bear that would find this place to be a playground of opportunity for finding a seal snack. I'm sure at one point Polar bears were quite abundant in Iceland. Now occasionally they ride a glacier block down from the north, and Iceland promptly transports them back north. As far as iceland is concerned... a Polar bear would have a field day eating sheep and what not to it's hearts content and the farmers dismay. It's sort of unfortunate they've completely lost their habitat here when it seems like such a natural place for them.

 

Also, no I did not have the guts to "polar bear" into this ice water, but I've just pledged today, that when I head back, I will submerge myself in this icy water. Which makes me much less excited about seeing this beautiful place again since I will most certainly return.
