Iceland Vacation Review: South Coast, Glacier Hike, Black Sand Beach, Ice Caves, Mother Daughter Trip

The entire trip was incredible and every stop was different and unusual.  Among the highlights was our glacier hike which we had to postpone until our last full day due to the weather.  During the hike we experienced all types of weather (a little sun, then snow and then blizzard--like conditions!)  Due to the weather we were the only ones on the glacier that early morning which was awesome!
Seeing the Diamond beach in the wind turned out to be another incredible sight as there were some many "diamonds" (washed up pieces of glacier) on the black sand beach (and so few people there it made the scene so beautiful.)
We also really enjoyed hiking through the ice caves which were unique and always evolving.
Seeing Thingvellir from a different vantage point which required more hiking through the snow was also incredible.
I could goon as every experience we had felt unique to our trip.
