Glacier National Park: Lake McDonald

Glacier National Park displays beauty in all directions. Lake McDonald, one of Glacier’s most iconic natural wonders, welcomes guests as they enter Glacier’s West-side Entrance. The quiet lake is home to beavers, otters, bald eagles, and wading birds. Crystal clear waters make for a refreshing swim on a hot summer day.

The surrounding mountains have endless hiking trails, full of floral colors.

These are some shots from Iceland’s famed Diamond Beach 💎 This beach is a natural spectacle. Icebergs from Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon flow into the ocean via a very narrow river. The collisions against each other leave a crumb trail of solid, crystal clear ice along the volcanic beach. The shining sun+the black sand beaches+clear glacier ice= a glittering ‘diamond’ effect from the ice. The contract is truly stunning. #whyiceland #travelriceland

Iceland is a place where you wake up from dreaming only to realize you’re in a real one. Skógafoss is one of the most glorious waterfalls in the world. Its force shakes the ground below it and sprays a colorful glittering mist around itself. The double rainbows arch over the sheep pastures and green cliffs making the setting even more magical. This photo does not do Skógafoss justice to scale as it is absolutely massive! It’s moments like these that continue to feed my wanderlust for the world 😆. I’m curious...do you prefer trips that involve nature > cities/culture? Or is that too difficult of a question to answer🤔#whyiceland #traveliceland #travelsugg

I managed to capture the sought after ‘bubble pic’ of Strokkur’s untimely eruption! This natural hot spring boils water inside a vent and eventually shoots water up to 100ft in the air. Quite a sight to see and is one of the three primary attractions to stop on Iceland’s Golden Circle. This is the most visited active geyser on the island. I’m excited to write more travel guides and blogs about our experiences from Iceland. If you have questions you want answered, or suggestions on what to write about, comment below or DM me! I want to focus on writing material that is useful to you. #whyiceland

You can’t go to Iceland without seeing Ice. This is Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon that is filled with icebergs. Giant chunks of ice break off from Breioamerkurjökull Glacier (say that 5x fast) and flow into a narrow waterway towards the ocean. The bergs leave behind small chunks of crystal clear ice onto the black volcanic beach, making it a rare spectacle to see. These icebergs are monstrous and these scaled-down photos hardly represent their size and force!

The lengths I’ll go to get a close look at a wild puffin...may I just say it was a treacherous climb but if you swipe you’ll see the result of the trek. I’ve always and forever will be fascinated by wildlife so it shouldn’t be a surprise that a puffin was one of my highlights from Iceland 🤷🏼‍♂️. Vík was one of our final roadtrip stops but it definitely sufficed as a grand finale. The volcanic sand beaches and basalt sea stacks were spectacular to witness (and of course the puffins that reside there).

Relaxing after a long week of on-the-go traveling. What better way to unwind than a dip in the famed Blue Lagoon? This travel destination was beyond expectations. The Blue Lagoon is a natural geothermal spa that gets its color from the abundance of minerals in the water. It is technically waste water from the geothermal plant that sits next to the pools. Waterfalls, silica masks, a poolside bar, and several saunas make the experience even more luxurious. Bucket list box has been checked ✅ #iceland

Soaked but stoked! We have been road tripping through Iceland these past few days, falling in love with the magic of the island. Every stop along the way has been beyond expectations! #iceland

We have arrived to the land of fire and ice and are ready for an adventurous week 🇮🇸. I’m ready to experiment with my landscape and nature photography, so stay tuned to see the results of this experimentation. Iceland is currently a very popular travel destination, therefore we have tasked ourselves with documenting content, tips, and recommendations that are not well known to the average travel bloggers and travelers. Needless to say, Iceland has been phenomenal so far!

Catching the last sun rays during the golden hour 😎 I love being on the move and exploring new places, but sometimes you just need to stay put and enjoy the familiarities of home. The last two weeks I’ve been enjoying every detail about my home and the wilderness that surrounds it. It’s funny how when we live somewhere for so long all we want to is get out, and then once we leave, we can’t wait to go back. Thanks to everyone who helped me maximize my Montana time (you know who you are!). I’m now feeling recharged and ready for some summer travel tomorrow 😆.
