Annual underwater Christmas Ball at the bottom of Silfra in Iceland
Every year, the Icelandic Diving Association hosts their annual Christmas party at the bottom of Silfra. Silfra is a crack in the ground in the Þingvellir National Park in Iceland. It is created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian continental plates. The east wall of the crack is Europe, while the west is North America.
Snorkeling with an orphan seal
My friend has been taking care of this orphan seal cub for the past few weeks. Recently it has been time for swimming lessons. I’m actually not sure which one is teaching who.
I went scuba diving here this summer. It is an amazing place. The water is infinitively clear and the blueness in some places is just ridiculous. Silfra (E. Silvery) is a crack in the ground in the Þingvellir (E. Parliament Grounds) national park just outside Reykjavík. The crack is created because of the two tectonic plates, the Eurasian and North American are moving apart. The depth is between one and 60 meters.

Underwater Proposal in Iceland
John Kullvik from Sweden proposed to his girlfriend Elin Hedlund at the bottom of the world famous Silfra rift in Iceland. The divespot, considered one of the most beautiful divespots in the world, has never before seen a proposal. Needless to say, Elin said Yes or actually wrote yes as you can’t speak underwater. The pair was diving with Dive Iceland.

I'm heavily affiliated with Iceland and proud of it. Lived most of my life in Iceland but spent enough time abroad to truly appreciate Iceland's uniqueness.
