The walk to the lagoon is short, and the view is impressive when you first see all the icebergs floating in the lagoon. Riding in a zodiac boat out to the glacier is definitely money well spent. The boat weaves through the maze of icebergs, and the Captain was great about answering all my questions. Definitely a highlight!

Skogafoss is a powerful waterfall that you don't want to miss, but the best part is taking the trail past the top lookout. You don't need to climb the sheep fence anymore, since they've added a gate. The numerous waterfalls and rock formations in the river along the trail are pretty incredible. There was only one other person on the trail who was far ahead of me, so I felt like I had the place to myself. Just me and the grazing sheep. I didn't make it to the hut due to the late hour, but I will be back one day to hike the whole trail. Fantastic!
