Thuy Duong has an Iceland 7-day trip discovering glaciers, snow-covered mountains, and waterfalls with a surreal beauty like on Mars.In addition to the fashion business person, Dang Thuy Duong (Nana) is also known as a travel blogger. She has been to dozens of countries around the world, capturing beautiful and famous photo albums in the travel community. Thuy Duong has recently returned from a long trip to Europe, with Iceland being her incredible destination. For Thuy Duong, Iceland brings surreal beauty compared to the rest of the world. People also liken this country to a miniature planet in the Atlantic Ocean. This land is famous for its magical aurora borealis in the night sky, the icebergs floating on the river, and the majestic mountains covered with white snow."This journey is incredibly fascinating. It takes me by surprise, piercingly cold, and rare scenes in life. The scorching feeling of going through the rain is a brilliant rainbow appearing by the magnificent Skógafoss waterfall or the first time we can ride a Ski-doo to the top of the highest snow mountain in Vatnajökull, then we chase each other, fall, and throw snow until our hands are numb. The wish to soak in the Blue Lagoon hot spring has come true. This is a rare chill and cozy experience on this ice island," Thuy Duong shares.🔸 Moving: There is no direct flight from Vietnam to Iceland, so Thuy Duong flies to Paris from Ho Chi Minh City, then buys a ticket to Reykjavik (the capital of Iceland). The round-trip fare from Ho Chi Minh City to Paris is about 24 million VND. Paris - Reykjavik round-trip fare is about 5-8 million VND. 🔸 Visa: To Iceland, you only need to apply for a Schengen visa to enter the country. 🔸 Weather: Each season has its distinctive beauty. There are surreal white layers of snow in winter and green valleys and purple flowers blooming everywhere in summer. If you want to hunt aurora, you should travel from late October to February next year. Duong arrived in Iceland in mid-October, so it was relatively cold, sometimes rainy, windy, and a little sunny.🔸 Currency: Iceland uses the krona. You can exchange currency in Vietnam or exchange in USD. 1000 ISK is about VND 170,000. 🔸 Traveling in Iceland: There are not many public means of transport outside the capital, so Thuy Duong mainly rents cars or buys landtours to attractions. The price is incredibly costly. The group going to the airport from the hotel costs 3.5 million VND for about a 20-minute drive. 🔸 Eating: There is nothing special about Icelandic food. You can try fish, chips, burgers, or grilled lamb. 🔸 What to wear: The weather is extremely cold, so you should bring thermal underwear, jackets, boots, scarves, and beanies. It's better to choose bright colors to take super photos.🔸 Iceland discovery 7-day itinerary: ◾ Day 1: - Explore Kirkjufell, the 463 m high mountain on the north coast of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Once appeared in the movie "Game of Thrones", this destination is also the place where NASA space agency used to test the moon landing. This famous mountain is likened to a thousand-layer cake alone by the sea. - Tour Arnarstapi fishing village - Visit the Viking house by the roadside◾ Day 2: Travel to the Far West and explore the Golden Circle area: - Stop at Þingvellir National Park with the Silfra rift - the intersection between the North American and Eurasian plates. - Visit Gullfoss waterfall and admire the scene of water spewing into the sky in the Geysir geothermal area with Strokkur natural fountain. Water will spray up once for about 5-10 minutes. Remember to hold your phone in your hand anytime to capture this moment.◾ Day 3: Discover South East Iceland Road with the following stops: - Seljalandsfoss waterfall - the most beautiful waterfall in Iceland - The majestic Skógafoss waterfall. Thuy Duong catches the rainbow moment through the waterfall - Dyrholaey viewpoint - The picturesque Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach-one of the most beautiful temperate beaches in the world. Behind it is a cliff made of volcanic lava in layers. - Vik i Myrdal Church with a simple architecture and a panoramic view of the black coast area. - Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon-one of Duong's favorite spots. The turquoise water is dotted with white icebergs. The upper part of the water is only a small part of the giant block of ice, while the submerged one is equivalent to 75 basements deep.◾ Day 4: - Morning: Begin the journey into the AIMG and Crystal Ice glacier area. We reach the trek point after 20 minutes of walking on the beautiful road like on Mars, then get to the thousand-year-old iceberg. The outside is covered in black. However, going deep into the ice cave, visitors can see the blue ice sheets illuminated by the sun, which are beautiful and fanciful. - Afternoon: Take a Super Jeep to get to the snowy mountain, then continue to ride the Ski-Doo sled to a place with a high enough height to have a spectacular view of Vatnajökull. No words can describe the incredible scenery along the way, and the feeling of riding on the snow with the Skidoo is happiness beyond words.◾ Day 5: - Head to Diamond Beach with icebergs like diamonds. However, it is not the coldest season, so there are not many icebergs. - Visit the US Navy's DC3 aircraft ruins◾ Day 6: Back to Reykjavik, visit the Icelandic Phallological Museum which houses over 200 specimens of penis parts representing most of Iceland's land and marine mammals. ◾ Day 7: Blue Lagoon This is the famous warm water pool in Iceland despite the incredibly low temperature around it.Photo: Dang Thuy Duong Cre: ngoisao.vnexpress #$gnal$#
