20 19 can Iceland's glaciers still travel?

Today, everyone should have seen the news of the glacier collapse in Iceland's tourist attractions. Fortunately, the glacier collapsed, but there were no casualties. So what should we pay attention to when traveling to glaciers? Is it safe to travel in Iceland? Will the subsequent glacier collapse affect travel?

Can Iceland's glaciers collapse and travel? Yes, but don't go near the scenic spots where glaciers collapse. It is suggested not to sail near this kind of glacier, nor to walk and stay on the shore near the disintegrating glacier.

On April 1 day, a group of tourists are playing at the Jagushalon Glacier Lake in Vatna Glacier National Park, Iceland. Unexpectedly, the iceberg along the coast suddenly cracked, and huge ice cubes smashed into the lake, setting off huge waves and rushing to the shore. Tourists who are taking pictures of glaciers fled in horror and immediately fled. That scene is like a disaster film. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Precautions 1. Notes on scenic spots 1. Geothermal area:

Pay attention to the prescribed route and warning line, and don't cross the line, otherwise you may be scalded, and you need to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment in severe cases.

2. Black Beach:

The waves in the North Atlantic are magical, so be sure to stay away from the coastline and waves. Occasionally, people are killed by the waves. In addition to the famous black beach on the south bank, the black beach on Mount Snay also needs to be careful.

3. Ice and snow:

Many areas and scenic spots are covered with snow and ice in winter, especially around waterfalls. Because a lot of water vapor condenses into ice, you should pay special attention to safety when walking. It is recommended to buy urban crampons and tie them to shoes.

4. Fence:

Don't walk out of the fence just to get a satisfactory photo. Before that, a tourist climbed the cliff of the Golden Waterfall, which scared everyone into a cold sweat.

2. Matters needing attention when joining the group 1. Be sure to wear a seat belt when sitting in the car. Also remind people in the same trade to fasten their seat belts, otherwise it will be a safety hazard to you.

2. Don't bring too much loose articles, and put your carry-on luggage on the designated luggage rack.

3. Be sure to follow the guidance of the tour guide when participating in the activity. For example, hiking on glaciers and snowmobiling must walk and drive within the prescribed range.

3. Precautions before driving

1. When renting a car, try to choose a car with good performance, preferably a four-wheel drive.

2. Compare when buying car rental insurance, and try to choose all risks.

3. Arrange the travel rhythm and route reasonably, don't be greedy and avoid burning the midnight oil.

The itinerary is suitable for this season. For example, in winter, it is best not to drive around the island or go to the West Fjord.

5. When driving, it is best to alternate driving with family and friends to avoid fatigue driving (remember to register a second driver when renting a car to ensure equal insurance).

6. Read the information about car rental and self-driving travel in Iceland in advance, get to know Iceland in all directions and be better prepared.

1. All passengers must fasten their seat belts.
