VIDEO: Snorkeling in Silfra, Iceland Between 2 Continents — Into the Cold

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to swim in 2 degree glacier water? Check out my facial reaction when I took the plunge into the Silfra fissure in Thingvelir National Park in Iceland with Dive.is…I can’t remember if it’s the cold water or insanely awesome view of the continental divide that made my eyes bulge!

Check out the full blog post on this little excursion here: “Snorkeling Between 2 Continents in Iceland”

    • Is that the bubble/dome attachment thing? I just recently learned about it (and want one)....this whole time I've been trying to get that type of pic by chance haha!

      • I know! I've also tried getting that famous GoPro photo without it - nearly impossible! I had one successful shot in Cape Town without one haha

        I am getting one for my trip to the Great Barrier Reef in a few months, so thought I would mention it here in case you hadn't heard of it.

        Love the blog by the way - super interesting!
