🌋 Text: A Summer Day in Iceland

 

Each summer, I spend two weeks in Iceland with my family. We love the midnight sun—during June, the sun barely sets, and we can enjoy long walks even at midnight. One evening, we took a trip to Golden Circle, where we saw geysers erupting, a powerful waterfall named Gullfoss, and a national park with hot springs and lava rocks. It was amazing!

 

The next day, we visited the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa with warm, milky‑blue water. It’s located in a lava field and heated naturally by volcanic activity. We relaxed there for hours—it was quiet and peaceful, perfect for reading and taking photos. When evening came, the sky turned pink and purple.

 

On the final weekend, we went whale‑watching from Húsavík on the north coast. We saw minke whales jumping and seals resting on icebergs. The sea was calm and the captain told us about Iceland’s marine life and the importance of protecting it.

 

Iceland isn’t just glaciers and geysers—it’s also about nature, wildlife, and silence. This summer trip reminded me how special and unique this country is.
