Today we are going to Myvatn. The route we take is from Sauðárkrókur up north to Siglufjörður and then via Dalvik, Akureyri and Goðafoss to Reynihlíð, Myvatn. The first section to Siglufjörður and half down to Akureyri is mostly driving in the low clouds. Via ring road 1 we will continue most of the travel from now on. Akureyri is truly […]

The whole day is mainly for driving from Heydalur to Myvatn. Interim stop at Sauðárkrókur. The way is via the Hvitserkur. Unfortunately we decided not to go down to the beach… Worst pictures possibly ever taken of that place. The black beach close to Hvitserkur. Finally in Sauðárkrókur. Not very nice but will work for just one […]

Before breakfast I did some shots of the Iceland horses in Heydalur. Today the only plan is to walk to the Drangajökull. We arrive at the parking around 11:30 and walk directly towards the glacier. After about half of the distance the area got a bit swampy and the small runlets from the mountain to […]

Very good weather when starting from Látrabjarg towards Heydalur in the northern part of the Westfjords. We take the route at the western coast via Dynjandi waterfall and Ísafjörður. Terrific panoramic views nearly throughout the whole drive. After 2 hours we reach the Dynjandi. Heard that it is not that crowded as other places but that seemed to […]

Not as cold as yesterday and seems like the wind is getting less. First point to visit is Rauðisandur where a golden to red beach with 10 km length is located. When we arrive, the first surprise I notice is the Snæfellsjökull view from here. Clear at the top without clouds. Trying with the Tamron tele lens on […]

Today we’re going from Snorrastaðir to Látrabjarg. The route is planned via Klofingur and Rkhólaeyr at the southern coast line of the Westfjords. To Klofingur we are taking the gravel road 590. Close to the stopover there’s a sign to a church (in the middle of nowhere); something which wakes up curiosity. The F-road leading there […]

Early up and the sun is shining! Fantastic! Now we only need this for the tour to Snæfellsnes. Long story short… yes, it is fantastic weather at nearly all places on the peninsula. On to Hellnar seeing the wonderful cave of lava in the water, the Baðstofa. After a short walk we are driving back […]

Bad weather in the morning and when looking at the Iceland weather forecast page, it doesn’t seem to get better. We’ll skip Snæfellsnes for today and try tomorrow with the hope of some better weather. Instead we’re going to the palces which were planned for day 3, Glanni waterfall and Hraunfossar. Arriving at Glanni after […]

It’s just a 3 hour 15 minutes flight from Hamburg to Keflavik. The flight was slightly late and the baggage reclaim took very long before the luggage was on the conveyor but finally we got it. The guy from the rental car company picked us up and we went to his office to pickup the Suzuki Grand […]
