The second region we passed through was Vestfirðir (Westfjords). The picture below will forward to the SmugMug folder. Again, the bird shots taken during the travel are all in one folder which will get more pictures added throughout the review of the other regions. The same applies to the black & white extracts of some pictures taken.

Day 17: The most northern capital of the world
From Asólfsskáli we’re going for our last stop to Reykjavík. The trip is via Þingvellir. Tomorrow we will spend a full day in Reykjavík before leaving early morning the day after. [singlepic id=6015 w=500 h=500 float=center] Left side is the European tectonic plate and right side is the one of North America. Only a couple of pictures in this post […]
Day 16: Landmannalaugar
One day to the Landmannalaugar. A bit scared about the warnings you can read here and there regarding the F-road travel. In the end it wasn’t that bad. It was more annoying because of the longitudinal ribs but not very ambitious (the way to Zuni during US 2010 tour was much worse). [singlepic id=6006 w=500 h=500 […]
Day 15: Parts of the Golden Circle
Today we are going to Gullfoss and the Great Geysir. Gullfoss is the most famous waterfall in Iceland. It’s quite big and nice to view. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to figure out how to get to the other side at home and today we see that it is possible. Anyway, here it is. [singlepic id=6002 […]
Day 14: Via Vik to Asólfsskáli
We are going to our last stay in the south. Two full days near to the golden circle. But before we drive further, another short stop at Jökulsárlón. [singlepic id=5995 w=500 h=500 float=center] The closer we get to Vík í Mýrdal, the more tourists are driving. Vík itself is terrible, so we just fill up gas, […]
Day 13: Jökulsárlón, Svartifoss & Skálafellsjökull
Today is all around the Hali area. As it was cloudy yesterday evening at Jökulsárlón and also very busy, we decide to get up very early and be there before the crowds get to the place. We arrive at Jökulsárlón at 6 am and no one is there (except 2 seals but they are mainly under […]
Day 12: In the south
Before we leave for Hali, a short drive through Djúpivogur, the oldest harbor city in Iceland. Very small town and a good sense of humor… [singlepic id=5964 w=500 h=500 float=center] The guy at the recption told me that there are Red-throated divers just outside of the town to be seen. Using the Tamron 150-600 I was […]
Day 11: To the south via Djúpivogur
One interim stop on the way to the south today. We will spend one night in Djúpivogur. We leave early towards the Dettifoss. As it is on our way, we do a last quick stop at Námafjall. Today is no wind and the steam goes nearly straight up. [singlepic id=5949 w=500 h=500 float=center] [singlepic id=5950 w=500 h=500 […]
Day 10: Around Myvatn and another catastrophe
Before I start with Day 10, a quick recap from Day 8 in Heydalur. They had a little Arctic Fox there. Still feral but not moving from that area. That little buddy was truly everybody’s darling. Here’s one shot of the little mischief. [singlepic id=5937 w=500 h=500 float=center] As it was very crowded yesterday at Goðafoss we […]
