Today the Norwegian and Finnish students met for breakfast at the hostel before going to the bus that would eventually take us to H\u00f6fn later today.<\/p>\n

Our first stop was Sk\u00f3gafoss, a beautiful waterfall. The students got to explore and look around for a bit. The second stop was in the small town, V\u00edk. Here we got to see a black sand beach.<\/p>\n

Then the trip continued to Kirkjub\u00e6jarklaustur and the brand new, almost-finished visitor centre of Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park. Here we ate lunch and Fanney held a presentation for us. She gave us an overview of the park\u2019s main goals and objectives. She also explained the importance of protecting the Icelandic nature as a part of protecting an important natural resource and a part of preserving the cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

Our last stop on the trip today before making it to H\u00f6fn was the Glacier lagoon. We got to explore this spectacular place for a while and took some really nice photos.<\/p>\n

Then we got on the bus to our final destination. Once in H\u00f6fn the students met up with their host families and went with them to have dinner.<\/p>\n
