Searching for Warmth at Hveraröndor Hverir!
Miss me? Its been a few day since my last post on here… I spent last weekend in Paris! It was beautiful there and I had far more fun than I had thought I would! People like to talk down on it a lot, say its dirty, crowded… It turned out to be cleaner than […]
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
The morning of day 6 started dreary and rained quite a lot. Not a big surprise for this area of the country… We still set out on our route though, determined not to let the cold and wet stop us from seeing some sights that my friend particularly wanted to see. A lot of people […]
The Eastern Fjords of Iceland
Driving into the eastern part of Iceland…. Pure beauty… The area leading into the fjords was absolutely beautiful. After passing the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, the tourists seem to vanish and you pass very few cars on the road, especially along the fjords. It has a remote feeling that I fell in love with… The above […]
Hiking up a Glacier!!!
My favorite part of the trip around Iceland!! I was really excited for this part, I’d never even seen a glacier, so to go hike up one sounded like an absolute blast! Thankfully, I was anything but disappointed! I booked the tour with Icelandic Mountain Guides and absolutely loved our tour guide and the other […]
I’m on Facebook Now!!!
So, I finally got on it the other day and started a Facebook page for my blog!! Check it out and like it for faster updates on my travels, pictures, and videos! This weekend I am heading to Paris for 3 nights. See the sights as I’m experiencing them! The weekend after, Labor Day […]
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon!
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon… Another one of those iconic places in Iceland… And yet, one of the best to stop and see! This lagoon was beautiful, incredible, and the contained the first icebergs I had ever seen! Needless to say, I took just a few pictures of them! The other best part about this place? The […]
Heading to Svartifoss
After our stint at Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, we continued 21 kilometers down the road to a little pull off for Dverghamrar. This is a tiny stop, but one worth the time out of the car. Just below the parking area (its obscured from view of the car park) is an area in the middle of two hills comprised […]
The Beauty of Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon
Bright and early on day 4 it was back in the car on the way to Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon. The scenery driving through southern Iceland is spectacular, in one spot the scenery abruptly changes from black rocks and sand to rocks covered in thick, soft, spongy green moss! It was amazing! We stopped to get pictures […]
Abandoned Amongst the Black Sands
Another iconic sight in Iceland is the plane wreck on its black sand beaches. I love the old and abandoned things, so this was a must see! I’ve never been able to explore an abandoned plane… In 1973, a US Navy plane suffered severe icing and was forced to land on Solheimasandur beach on the southern […]
Magical Gljúfrabúi
Of course our next stop after Gluggafoss was Seljalandsfoss, since it was only fifteen minutes further down the road. Seljalandsfoss is probably the most iconic waterfall in Iceland, and well worth the stop, even if its full of tourists. Its beautiful, you can walk all the way around behind it, and get soaked in its mists. […]
