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.
We didn't get to see ice caves this time around as they are not able to be viewed in the summer, but this was a small ice formation formed in the glacier that I found to be interesting.
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 met Miki by accident today. We were going out to take the bus to XingPing and then take a boat to 9 Horse Mountain. Miki approached me on the street and said she'd go with us and quoted me 100 rmb for what was to be a four hour tour.
She's a fantastic local guide. She speaks good "guide English" (meaning she has really good basic English and has good understanding but choose simple words and phrases), all of which she has learned her self over the past ten years. She has a little black book that she carries around with English phrases and their Chinese translations.
Her husband is a rice farmer, he's just left for Hunan to work in construction for a couple of months to earn extra money (a common practice in China). She lives at Moon Hill, south west of Yangshuo and rides her bike 40 minutes into Yangshuo each day.
She is very freindly, honest and knowledgable about the local area. I highly reccomend her if your in the Yangshuo area and you need a guide. A guide will really help you get to and see places easily, get bus tickets, order food, rent bikes or scooters, reserve boats etc. They are worth their weight in gold, especially one that is honest and genuine like Miki. Her mobile phone is 15878367912, give her a call when you get to China. (Oh and give her a nice generous tip, she works hard for her money)

Leaving Ouray, going up the Ophir pass. Ouray is a cute little town - a former mining village with a lot of the historical shops and buildings still standing. If you like Jeep trails, this town is for you.

Ice cave discovery tour on March 5th with localguide.is. Tourguide Magnús gave us some time to use our tripod... and we didn't waste it!
Cheltenham Wetlands Park was once part of the U.S. Naval Radio Station, Cheltenham, Maryland. It was commissioned in 1939.
“The original antenna fields, comprising creosoted wood telephone poles and metal antenna towers, were located in the acreage surrounding the buildings. All metal antenna poles have been removed from the installation. Some abandoned creosoted wood poles remain in the wooded and swampy sections of the installation.
Established as a radio receiving station before World War II, the installation's mission evolved to administration during the Cold War era.”
