It’s my first time to hike in a snowy mountain! I told my friend that if I’m going to live here, I would need enjoyable things to do. And I’d say after this hike, hmmm.. I think I could live here.. 😆
A big thanks to Damien, who agreed to show us this beautiful mountain and icy lake. Together with another Traveler, Thora, it was a fantastic hike – great view, great people and lovely conversations. A wonderful way to celebrate the weekend!
I didn’t bring any hiking wear with me so I look like I was just out to buy some groceries. If not for my friend, I would still be wearing my leather boots and leather sling bag. Thank goodness, she gave me a backpack and a pair of hiking boots, which is perfect for the snowy path.
First stop was to see the famous Visca horses of Iceland. Their thick fur is built for the cold environment.
I’d say they are also immigrant to Greenland then..hehe
Moving to the path, I couldn’t help but just admire the landscapes!
And I kept lagging behind because I couldn’t help but take photos and look for crystal rocks (they’re so plenty – quartz, amethyst(?)..
I gave them a warning in the beginning.. “Filipinos love to take photos!”..haha. Well, most of us. I’m glad Thora loves taking photos too. Haha
The struggle is real! This was a steep slope of ice. I got intimidated with the new terrain.. I was sliding down and was crawling haha. I’m so glad I was able to conquer my fear. Thank you Damien for being so calm and making sure I make it to the next stop..haha.
