Enjoy !!<br \/>\n**** **** ***** <\/p>\n<p>It always my dream to see the northern lights that&rsquo;s why I was thinking of making a trip in a country where I could see them. As the northern lights depend on the sun activity it not always sure that your trip will fall in a period of good sun activity (by the way 2013 and 2014 should be really good years to see them), that is why I chose Iceland.  I knew that if I would not see the northern lights, there would be plenty of other things to see there. Trust me, these 5 days in Iceland were far better than I could imagine. Let&rsquo;s start with day one! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Keflavik &#8211; Blue Lagoon &#8211; Seltun &#8211; Selfoss  <\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[ice1d1]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.secham.org\/Galleries\/ice_day1_blog\/ice_day1_blog-0.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/secham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ice_day1_blog-0.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"In the air\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ice_day1_blog-0.jpg 780w, https:\/\/secham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ice_day1_blog-0-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\nLet me introduce you our dream team : Annette, my lovely sister-in-law, Natalie, a good friend of Munich and Guillaume, my best friend from my engineering school. We were 4 people, two french guys and two german women, the perfect mix for a lot of fun.<br \/>\nWe started our journey with our flight Amsterdam Schiphol-Keflavik. After three hours of flight we arrived in a new world. Trust me, the first thing you think is that you&rsquo;ve landed on mars or on the moon.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[ice1d2]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.secham.org\/Galleries\/ice_day1_blog\/ice_day1_blog-9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/secham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ice_day1_blog-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"On the moon\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ice_day1_blog-9.jpg 780w, https:\/\/secham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ice_day1_blog-9-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We drove then to the blue lagoon area.
