Iceland is a country full of adventure tourism, and to fully experience the country, our class participated in many of the adventures offered. Our first big adventure consisted of visiting a large waterfall called Skógafoss. When driving up to it, you are at the bottom of it, but you can go to the top, so we climbed over 400 stairs to get to the top, where we had the most amazing view of the waterfall. Our next big adventure was climbing to the top of a dormant volcano called Eldfell. It erupted almost 50 years ago leaving devastating damage to the small southern island that it is located on. Apart from hiking, we also got to visit some really amazing geothermal pools and spas, the most notable one being the Blue Lagoon. It was just as beautiful as the posts online made it out to be. The other ones we visited, The Forest Lagoon and Fontana, were almost better in my opinion. Fontana was really unique in the sense that they made their own rye bread in their geothermal bakery. They bury a pot in the hot geothermal sand, and it bakes the bread for 24 hours. I had a moment of culture shock at these places. Before getting in any water, we were required to shower to make sure we were clean since the water is not chlorinated to keep the water clean. The shower guidelines required everyone to be naked to get a clean as possible before getting in the water. The last big adventure tourism that we took on was white water rafting. It seemed daunting on its own, but knowing the water was about 2 C made it even scarier. We wore many layers to keep warm including a wet suit and waterproof outerwear and shoes. It manages to keep us warm and when we were given the opportunity to jump off a cliff during the rafting, almost everyone did it, no one seemed to care that the water was just above freezing point. It was the scariest thing I did but I am so glad I went through with it.
