Silfra Snorkelling

We arrived in Oslo so were finally able to look through the GoPro SD card from our Silfra Snorkel. The Silfra fissure is in between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates (although the gap is actually 7kms so we could never touch two plates at once). The water travels underground from a glacier and only surfaces at Silfra which makes it a constant temperature of 2-3 degrees Celsius all year. This was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity and is considered some of the clearest water in the world. Even though the photos are very impressive, even they don’t do the experience justice!Read more
