The tour that The Venture Seekers did:
Snorkeling Between the Silfra FIssure in Iceland
We had the extraordinary opportunity to drift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates with Arctic Adventures- snorkeling through one for the clearest natural waterways on Earth. The glacial meltwater filters through porous lava fields for 30-100 years, emerging in Silfra at an icy 2-4 degrees Celsius (35-39 degrees Fahrenheit)- totally prestine and even drinkable if you are brave enough- and we were! :)
Active Adventures outfitted us in full dry-suit gear- thermal layers, neoprene hood, gloves, fins, and mask- plus expert guidance as we glided along the Big Crack, Silfa Hall, Silfra Cathedral, and finally into the Silfa Lagoon. Visibility down to the bottom was a surreal 100-150 meters, like floating in air.
After about 30-40 minutes in the water- a "lazy current" gently steered us- we climbed out to warm up with hot chocolate and cookies, the perfect finish surrounded by wilderness.
