You've been in a tunnel in a glacier in Iceland! How cool is that. I love Iceland, have been twice, once at a writer's residence in high summer and once in the darkness of early January. The contrast was incredible.

Hi, @mir123
I loved Iceland, too. And going into the glacier...well, there just aren't any words to adequately describe it. It was one of the best experiences of my life! I would love for everybody to experience that. I was there during the summer (July) when they have 20 hours of daylight. It was quite an experience to be out at 11:30pm enjoying daylight, and trying to go to sleep at 1:00am during the daylight! (Apparently, sometimes, during what's called the midnight sun, the sun is visible for 24 hours.) Did you experience the nighttime daylight when you were there?

Hi, @mir123

What was it like being in the darkness of early January in Iceland? I've never experienced it and can't even imagine what it would be like.
During the total eclipse of the sun last year, I was in the path of totality, and experiencing darkness in the middle of the day was eerie. But totality only lasted a few minutes. What was it like to go through a day, or days, of total darkness? I might want to go back and experience that.
