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!
Ingólfshöfði is a nature reserve that's home to thousands of nesting sea-birds, like puffins and great skuas. This tour was taken with the group Local Guide, which hauls people across a massive black sand beach in a hay cart to reach the headland and cliffs where the birds live.
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 SvÃnafellsjökull 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. In the entrance to the cave here, you can see the water dripping down as the cave is melting.
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.

Once it was one of the largest brick homes in Charles County, Maryland. Once it was the site of an amusement park. Once it was burned by arson. Once a truck drove through the middle. And now...

On September 27th, 2008, Trooper 2 responded to Waldorf, Maryland to assist the Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department with a motor vehicle crash. Working alongside first responders, two patients were identified for transport. A second medical provider would be required to assist with patient care in the helicopter.
Trooper 2 encountered poor weather while attempting to deliver the patients to a trauma center, and diverted to the closest airport. The helicopter crashed in Walker Mill Park on approach to Andrews Air Force Base.
The flight crew, one patient, Ashley Younger, and the Waldorf VFD medical provider, Tonya Mallard, were killed in the crash. One patient, Jordan Wells, survived the crash and was located, treated, and transported by rescuers.
