Creator's Key Takeaways

this was one of our favorite places to go definitely from Reykjavik

the glacier lagoon is just full of these big ice blocks there's all kinds of wildlife birds things in the water

we actually saw the Northern Lights at glacier lagoon which was probably the moto was our first time seeing there are the lights and it was one of the most incredible days of my life

the Blue Lagoon is an amazing experience and it's actually out near the airport which is not actually in rec avec so you kind of have to you know make that effort
