Ok so I downloaded an app and it helped beyond belief. Here is what I just witnessed. Also helped that we are away from Reykjavik now and staying in Hvolsvollur. I can't begin to describe how amazing the sight I just witnessed was.

Definitely something I'd like to do. How much did the trip run you?

552$ for two round trip tickets. So 276 per person through wow airlines. 258$ for a rental car for 5 days (split between two couples) Not sure how we got that so cheap but we did. 2 nights for free at a cousins house in Reykjavik and 2 nights for 302 total in Hvolsvollur(again split) Came here with 1000$ cash and still have 490$ with one day left. We didn't do any excursions because my family can help out with the tour guide stuff and tell us where to avoid and I did a lot of research before and I've been before. So all in all around 1400 and some change for 2 people. Not bad at all.

I pray that you brought a better camera and lens to take good pictures of this??

shite, that's cheap. I was thinking like 7 to 10k. I may have to go sooner than later.

I wish too man. Didn't have the money for that type of purchase just yet. Rocking the iPhone 6s which actually doesn't take that bad of pictures.

Glad to see you brought your Razr phone to take pictures with.

There is no sensor large enough on any phone camera to take non-potato quality in pitch black.
Here's a better photo taken by someone who had proper equipment:

If you hunt, you can find bargains. I wanna do this one day.

Yeah I wish I could afford a camera like that. Unfortunately not in the budget right now. These work for me
no doubt a BADASS picture though. I'm just glad I could see them. Makes me happier I could get pictures of them to my mom who's mom is from here. She came over for 20 years straight to work on a farm in the summer but has never had the chance to make it in the winter.

Awesome stuff, Zach. Thanks for sharing. Definitely at the top of my current list.
