Silfra Snorkeling Pond
@iamrwood
If you’re looking for an adventure that will take your breath away, then snorkeling the gap between the continental plates in Iceland is a must-do. Here, you get to experience something few people have ever had the chance to – plunging into a body of water and discovering two continents splitting. It's like traveling through time and space, with nature constantly reminding us of its untamed power on both sides of this divide. Not only do you get an adrenaline rush while exploring these crystal-clear waters, but it's also incredibly beautiful and serene - perfect for capturing some amazing photos!

Laugarvatn Fontana
@iamrwood
Imagine a beautiful spa nestled by a serene lake, powered by the natural warmth of geothermal springs. That's Laugarvatn Fontana! The spa takes its name from the lake it overlooks, and the hot springs beneath its surface provide the perfect temperature for blissful pools and heated surroundings. But that's not all - they also make mouthwatering bread using an ancient recipe. After burying the dough in the warm ground for an entire day, they unearth it and voila! The result is a scrumptious treat. And here's the best part: you can join in on the whole process and have an unforgettable experience!
