The Silver Lady (Silfra Fissure)

Our itinerary has finally taken shape with everyone adding their "must do" top activity to the trip. My wish-list request is to snorkel the Silfra Fissure. By the way, Silfra means "Silver Lady" in Icelandic.

We all know that snorkeling with glasses just ain't gonna happen, especially if your vision is bad and one wants to SEE whats in the water. Plus to me, getting prescription goggles seemed a tad too extreme. Good thing I was able to get contact lenses prescribed and fitted just in time for our adventure holiday. Silfra is a freshwater fissure between the continents, where divers and snorkelers can actually touch both continents at the same time! Equally unique is the water. They say its one of the very clearest and most pristine waters on this planet. From what I've read, we will be able to open our mouths and take a drink. Here's to the Silver Lady!
