The College Park Aviation Museum is located adjacent to the College Park Airport. The College Park Airport is the world’s oldest continuously operating airport established in 1909 when Wilbur Wright came and trained military officers to fly the government’s first aeroplane. The airport is known as the “Field of Firsts” which includes the first female passenger, first machine gun tested on an airplane, and the first controlled helicopter flight.

Ingólfshöfði is a nature reserve that's home to thousands of nesting sea-birds, like puffins and great skuas. This birdwatching tour was taken with the group Local Guide, which hauls people across a massive black sand beach in a hay cart to reach the cliffs where the birds live.

I had taken my glasses off since it was misty outside and I didn't like the lenses getting wet. They slipped out of my rain jacket pocket and through the slats of this hay cart. The guides were phenomenal with helping me find the glasses during our return trip--and ensuring that the hay cart didn't crush them! This seems borderline impossible in such a huge expanse of black sand, but somehow they accomplished it!

This sculpture was created using

sweetgrass, wild grape vines,

and reeds harvested from the

Patuxet River and woven into

various shapes. The installation

is visible from a walkway that

leads visitors to the trail and is

30 feet off the ground.

12/03/2016 BURMA,MANDALAY At Chin's Pew Me Taj Mahal of Burma Children are guided by guiding tourists cuteness.

This was without a doubt the best day of our trip. We went out with Einar and his son from Öræfaferðir / Local Guide Travel Service. They were both amazing, and we would highly recommend their services! Please feel free to check out the link below for more information.

Our second stop was to head into an amazing ice cave adjacent to the Svínafellsjökull Outlet on Vatnajökull Glacier. Being in these caves was unlike anything we've ever experienced. They were well insulated so it wasn't extremely cold, but the textures and formations were completely otherworldly. The ice will often take on a rich, deep blue color in these caves. However, we were told that because it was a bright and sunny day, that blue became more of the aqua/teal type color you see here.

This shot was looking down through the entrance that we took to enter the cave. We walked down the steps toward the bottom of the image and around to the right where you can see the other entrance/exit from my previous shots.

Interestingly, due to the constant changing of the glaciers and temperature changes, these ice caves are rarely ever around for more than a couple of weeks at a time. You can go back every year and have a completely different experience every time. We were told that the ice caves we enjoyed, for example, were gone within a week of our visit.

You can find more information on guided mountain, glacier and ice cave tours with Öræfaferðir / Local Guide Travel Service here.
