A Thrilling Plane Crash Wreck - Witnessing a Miraculous Survival in Iceland
One day, I embarked on a journey to Sólheimasandur Beach in Iceland. During the long trek across the black desert, the wreckage of a dilapidated airplane gradually came into view, standing like a solitary relic in this desolate land. The plane's past is chilling - it once experienced a thrilling plane crash, yet miraculously, all passengers survived unscathed.
The plane was forced to make an emergency landing on this black beach due to fuel exhaustion. At that time, the plane plummeted rapidly from the sky, skimming the sea surface, and finally came to a halt on the beach with a violent crash. The terrified passengers and crew struggled to escape, fighting through the flying debris, and eventually, everyone made it out safely. This accident left the plane forever stranded on this barren beach.
Today, the wreckage is severely deformed, with a twisted fuselage, broken wings, and metal parts scattered across the sand. Despite the passage of time, it remains awe-inspiring. I carefully walked around it, as if touching a piece of history. The shattered glass of the cabin glinted faintly, evoking images of the panicked passengers fleeing.
Standing before this ancient aerial giant, I couldn't help but reflect on how life is like this plane, full of unexpected surprises and challenges. Sometimes, we encounter unforeseen difficulties, but only by staying calm and courageous can we turn danger into safety and regain hope. This wreckage silently conveys such life philosophy, making one ponder deeply.
As I left, I looked back reluctantly, feeling as if the solitary plane wreck was telling an untold legend. I hope to return someday to revisit this unforgettable history.
You have to admit, Jay Chou's recommended trip to Iceland is impressive!

The most beautiful custom route in Iceland for the winter of 2024~ Jay Chou's choice of Icelandic custom same model recommended hotel
The Reykjavik EDITION hotel is located at the end of the northwest peninsula of Iceland's capital, adjacent to the old port port, and situated on a high spot near the seaport, backed by mountain scenery. The hotel's bedrooms and suites boast magnificent views of the harbor, Mount Esja, and the legendary Snæfellsjökull glacier.
A short walk from the city's vibrant shopping district Laugavegur Street and Harpa Concert and Conference Center. The famous Blue Lagoon is within driving distance, and the Northern Lights can be seen in the city during winter.
The retreat at blue lagoon Iceland's Blue Lagoon geothermal spa hotel
The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland's biggest tourist attractions and has also been rated by National Geographic magazine as one of the top 25 wonders of the world.
To allow travelers to truly enjoy nature's masterpiece, experience the bone-chilling cold above water and the pleasure of warm currents below. This hotel was born to avoid the imagination of soaking in a hot spring and eating dumplings.

Iceland Puffin Watching Guide!!!!
Where to watch puffins in Iceland???
I, who have toured Iceland for puffins, must recommend
Borgarfjörður eystri
This is considered the easternmost part of Iceland
I just floored the accelerator
10H drive, arrived in one day!
At 4 AM and 4 PM
Saw puffins heading out to sea to forage and returning from foraging
There are really, really many here
You can totally get up close.
The premise is not to disturb them
Just quietly appreciate the scenery and the cute little cuties
Besides that
Other recommended places to watch puffins in Iceland are also listed for you:
Dyrholaey (the best to visit, there will be closing times during the nesting period)
Látrabjarg (cliff sea view! Extremely spectacular!)
Ingólfshöfði (need to sign up for a bird watching group to see)
Lundey (an island full of puffins! The name means Puffin Island, most likely only accessible by boat)
Öxarfjörður (quite niche, I haven't been there)
Vestmannaeyjabaer (the scenery of Westman Islands is worth more than bird watching)
