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. 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.

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.

So that's my charming volunteer- guide at the Phil. Tarsier Foundation. She was really good, very patient with my frequent lens changing, and went out of the way to show us excellent tarsier sightings, at times even asking us to hold on until a noisy group moved on. She made us walk around bushes or paths to ensure better sightings of the animal the large group had rushed through. Thank you dear. I never got her name, but may her tribe prosper! The Phil. Tarsier Foundation is lucky to have volunteers like you. (Bohol- Tagbilaran, Philippines, May 2013)
