The actual ICELAND !! 🧊❄️

Jökulsárlón, Iceland 📍Diamond Beach Parking, Jökulsárlón, 781, Iceland Iceland will never be Iceland without ICE !!!!!🧊 Perfect to bring kids around to feel, touch, see, hear and even have a taste of the 1000 years old ICE!! 🧊☃️ You can find the perfect ice and have the best photos on insta!! 🧊🩷You can either enjoy the view of the Jökulsárlón lake with a 30 minutes walk or join the cruise for a tour around the lake. If you are lucky enough, you will be able to see seals swimming around the lake 🦭🦭. Walk across the bridge you will reach the diamond beach💎💎 where all the ice accumulate at the shore and looks like diamonds 💎. ⚠️ Be careful!! Do not walk too close to the sea, waves 🌊 are huge and dangerous ❗️ 💲No entry fees 🅿️ 1000Kr for parking a family car (up to 5 seats): share across three parking. I recommend going to the one nearest to the Jökulsárlón first where the pay machines and free toilets are!! #境外遊 #Jökulsárlón

The famous glacier lagoon in Iceland was beautiful, just after a storm had passed. Large pieces of ice everywhere

Amazing Diamond Beach

Diamond Beach is one of the most spectacular places in Iceland. It's a black sand beach littered with huge chunks of ice that have broken off from the nearby Jökulsárlón glacier and were carried all the way to the beach. You can explore the area on foot or join a short boat tour. Bring a bottle to carry some of the melting water, which is so pure and delicious. Wildlife enthusiasts will also find many birds here. Diamond Beach is located in Jökulsárlón on the south coast of Iceland. You can get there on your own with a rental car, or join one of the daily tours. The area itself is open all day and is free of charge, though you do have to pay for the boat tour.

The beauty of Diamond Beach knows no bounds

It feels like Iceland has suddenly turned into summer. The sun is so warm that it makes one drowsy, and the strong winds scatter everything around. It's a perfect representation of a day in Icelandic weather. Sitting on Diamond Beach, basking in the sun, I feel such bliss from the sunshine. The view before me always distracts me from concentrating. The glimmering waves and the leisurely seals just like that, time is wasted, and I feel completely justified in doing so. ps: Diamond Beach isn't only a place to see ice in winter, it's possible to find ice there all year round. It's just a matter of how much or the size of the ice blocks.

Diamond Beach

#familytrips2024 Approaching Diamond Beach, anticipation surged within us like the crashing waves against its shimmering shores. As we stepped onto the black volcanic sands, our eyes were drawn to the glistening icebergs scattered along the coastline, like precious jewels adorning the beach. The contrast of the translucent ice against the dark sand created a mesmerizing tableau, a symphony of light and shadow dancing upon the water's edge. Walking amidst the glittering ice sculptures, we felt a sense of wonder and reverence for the raw beauty of nature, each iceberg a fleeting reminder of the eternal dance between ice and sea. Standing on Diamond Beach, with the icy waves lapping at our feet, we were reminded of the delicate balance of the natural world and the preciousness of each fleeting moment. Looking ahead, our next dream destination beckons from the lush jungles of Costa Rica. We envision exploring hidden waterfalls nestled amidst tropical foliage, encountering exotic wildlife in their natural habitats, and immersing ourselves in the vibrant culture of this Central American paradise. Costa Rica's abundance of natural beauty and commitment to conservation promise an unforgettable adventure, where every moment is an opportunity to connect with the world around us and deepen our appreciation for the wonders of the Earth. It's a destination that resonates with our sense of adventure and desire to explore, inviting us to embark on a journey of discovery and rediscovery amidst the lush landscapes of the rainforest.

Beautiful and unique place near the glacier.

Best Lobster Soup Iceland

#familytrips2024 Not too far away from Nailed it Fish and Chip is the Heimahumar "Local Langoustine" Truck. This truck is famous for their langoustine aka lobster soup. It cost 2100ISK but perfect on a rainy day or a weather this cold in Iceland. You can see pieces of lobsters in the soup itself and the soup is thick. Recommended to get this or try their lobster roll too.

Best Fish and Chip Iceland

#familytrips2024 Surprisingly this is the best fish and chip I have eaten in Iceland. Yes this is Nailed It Fish & Chips and it is sold by a movable food truck near the diamond beach! It was raining heavily and the fish and chip which has crispy batter and succulent fish sooth the heart. You can choose to add magic dust to enhance the taste of the fish and chip. I believe that is msg haha.

I EXPLORED EUROPE’S LARGEST GLACIER?!

On my recent trip to Iceland, I booked The Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure which was an adventurous trip, off the beaten path, on which I experience the forces of Icelandic nature. We departed from the Glacier Lagoon at 14.00, driving off-road to Iceland’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Did you know it is also Europe’s largest glacier?! During the scenic drive in our special super jeeps, we saw the best of the amazing glacial terrain. When we got to the ice cave, we were well equipped with the right gear and attire as well as professional, experienced guides who knew the ice caves inside out. If you’re planning your next vacation, maybe consider Iceland and don’t miss out on this one of a kind adventure! Bucket list checked ✅ #freehotelstay
