Silfra: Dive between two volatile tectonic plates
Silfra or Tectonic Fissure is a freshwater rift between two continents. It is the gap between the North American and Eurasian continental plates where you can swim and dive toward the center of the Earth! The water is clean and clear as it gets filtered through the porous rocks, offering incredible clarity to divers. This also makes the water safe to drink.
Into The Glacier: Trek deep inside the 2nd largest glacier
This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you shouldn't miss out on. Into The Glacier is an ice cave attraction where you can trek deep inside Europe's second-largest glacier. Stretching approximately 550 meters and made 30 meters below the surface, it is the world's largest man-made cave/tunnel ever. Snowy white walls that turn blue as you go inside make it more fun.
