We got lucky on the drive out because the clouds disappeared for a short time allowing us to see the tops of the mountains.
But it was short lived because the gloomy skies returned as we arrived to the park. But a glacier, y’all!
We followed the trail a couple of miles out to the water’s edge.
From afar the glacier appears white - like ice.
But as you get closer and see the underside, it’s black from the sediment it has collected from run-off!
This was a four mile hike that we found enjoyable because very few people went as far out to the glacier as we did.
Keagan climbed on top, crouched below, and crawled through crevices in the broken ice.
On our way back to Hofn we stopped at Diamond Beach, a black sand beach.
We didn’t see iceberg pieces, but I did spot a seal swimming in the cold waters. My day was made!
After eating granola bars and gas station egg sandwiches for two days, we splurged on dinner. Keagan had lamb with duck that he rated one of the best meals he’s ever eaten.
Tonight is reserved for laundry and repairing a flat tire. Fun times!
