    We drove to Thingvellir National Park to a rift called Silfra which is a fissure between the North American and Eurasion tectonic plates. The water is nearly freezing, but we swam in it for an hour! Wearing drysuits for the first time was a fun experience and made the snorkel trip so much better. The water was unbelievably clear. This was definitely one of the best adventures we took in Iceland!!!

    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
    We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on RUclips, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that RUclips’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

    I have been showing this video to my 6th grade Social Studies classes today, as we have been learning about Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift. Kara and Nate, you now have about 90 new fans who are 11 years old! They absolutely loved it! I appreciate the fact that you made something that we are learning about in school come alive for them, in a very real way. Now I just have to figure out how to fundraise for a field trip from Indiana to Iceland...

      Charles Heimberg my school recently had a trip to Iceland, i didn’t go due to other reasons but there’s companies who specialize on school trips and help with the planning and everything. Should definitely look into it. Now I’m in high school so I’m not sure if they’d offer it to middle schoolers. I’m from Indiana too :)

    A massive thank you to you for sharing this video - my boyfriend and I went to Iceland this week and because I watched your video we booked the snorkelling in Silfra. He was super not sure about it beforehand but we had the BEST time and we definitely would not have tried it if it wasn't for your video

  • @taryngilland3159
    @taryngilland3159 5 лет назад +6

    This is absolutely beautiful And stunning! ❤️ But a little know trivia, these are not the actual plates. This is an opened up fissure that that is still technically between the two plates, but these walls themselves are not them. The plates are about 7km apart from each other with this giant gorge in between. Nevertheless, it’s still amazingly beautiful and a very “cool” experience!! 😂❤️

  • @aswea4aswea48
    @aswea4aswea48 4 года назад +2

    I have a huge fear of the water and underneath it so I would never choose to go scuba diving but I was curious about what scuba diving over the beautiful plates so thank you for showing me what it looks and feels like.

  • @FireCracker3240
    @FireCracker3240 6 лет назад +5

    Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Your camera did such a great job of capturing the clarity of the water. Being cold and numb would likely be worth it to see something that amazing.

  • @benec5816
    @benec5816 7 лет назад +15

    Now that was a barrel of laughs and great great water views but to outstanding things came out of it was Kara's comment my gloves are so tight I can't work my brain and the other is that you all did the best imitation of the creature from the black Lagoon a very old movie and that's the exact way that he tried to swim down into the water it was awesome thanks heaps keep them coming this is tremendous stay safe ha ha

    You know those scuba scooters you rode on in Mauritius with Blue Safari would be really handy here. For one, you'd have nothing touching the water because of the bubble around your face and two it would be much easier to stay under though you might need some kind of demister for the glass.
