I’ve never felt such a thrill. Being so high up on the mountains is surreal, the view that comes with being at a higher altitude is absolutely breath taking. This was the most memorable part of the trip for me personally. I had never felt so in tune with myself as a person walking on the edge of mountains and sliding down snow caps! Its amazing what adrenaline can do to a person. Walking as a group we managed to make the hike there and back within 5 hours. We had to pack our own lunch for the hike. Even though I couldn’t feel my hands or face, it was the best lunch experience EVER!! By the time we got back to the tents I was just about ready to collapse, but after a nice nap and some yoga, I felt like I could keep hiking for hours! We did some midnight hiking and exploring, it was pretty confusing yet really cool to be hiking at midnight whilst in broad daylight. There is only about 2/3 hours of “nighttime” during the summer in Iceland!
