We had so much fun hiking on glaciers our first time in Iceland that we had to make sure we could do it again on our second trip. We went out with Aron from Öræfaferðir / Local Guide Travel Service again, this time for a glacier hike on the Fjallsjökull Outlet of the Vatnajökull Glacier. We would highly recommend their services! Please feel free to check out the link below for more information.

I thought about going exploring up on the glaciers of Iceland, but I had bigger plans to explore underneath them. Months before going to Iceland, I did my research and decided to line up an ice cave tour at Skaftafell in Vatnajökull National Park. I was actually too early to get pay but I showed some persistence and eventually got lined up for not one but two ice cave tours.

I'm really glad I did (reserve two trips) because on this, the second day, we had a lot of overnight rain that caused the river to swell - blocking our access to all but the beginning of the cave. Sure, it was disappointing but I was determined to make the most of it. After all, the rippled reflections on the icy ceiling and the cool blue tones of the cave behind me sure made for a great scene!

There is a lot more to this post... see the rest of the backstory, how I got the shot, and get free wallpaper from www.coloradocaptures.com/ice-cave-illumination-iceland

This shot is looking down the glacier towards the parking area. You can see that the glacier runs off and transitions into mountains and rocks in the distance.
