Glacier Lagoon (Iceland, Day 2)

My second full day in Iceland was action packed.  I did so many things and took so many pictures.  This post is a bit long, but the pictures were too good not to include them in the post.  First I started the day by driving to Glacier Lagoon.  It was amazing to see all the ice in one place.  It really reminded me of Antarctica.  Is was really cool.  Then I went to a big glacier.  Then a hike in a national park area.  Then saw some random cool scenery.  To finish the day, I went to a place where a plane crashed during World War 2 and hasn't been moved since.  Walking to the sight was difficult because it was so windy and it was starting to get dark.  I was determined and made the 45 min (one way) walk against the terrible wind.  It was a great way to end a very successful day of exploring.
