Island - Land of Fire and Ice.
I first discovered this incredibly beautiful country last fall when I drove the entire island in 14 days. Autumn in Iceland is such a harsh taste of winter, but you can practically prepare for all seasons, it will snow, it will blow, the sun will shine, just everything. Plus, in October, the Northern Lights season is already in full swing, I saw the Northern Lights for the first time in my life last year, and I can say that it's really the experience of a lifetime.
On arrival, we slowly start to move south across the Reykjanes Peninsula and the Golden Circle to iconic waterfalls like Skogafoss and Seljalandfoss. We will continue through various canyons and stretches of black beaches to our final stop, the port town of Höfn, from where we will return to the capital Reykjavík along the same route.
The whole trip is designed so that we can enjoy each place to the fullest, not spend too much time behind the wheel and most importantly there is room for the less discovered places besides such classic famous ones, check the itinerary below, there is much more written there. I've always liked the outdoors mostly, so we won't just be driving around parking lots and running out to take pictures, but we'll be taking a few smaller hikes as well.
This whole event is for anyone who wants to see the Island, but also take pictures, and it doesn't matter if it's on a cell phone, camera or drone. I can advise, set up, just take care of you. :)
Oh, and mind you, I like sunrises and sunsets, but the good news is that at this time the sun doesn't rise in Iceland until after 8:00, haha!
A proper Iceland trip starts with a swim in a hot river, so we climb up to one.
We don't want to miss the Strokkur geyser and its quieter relatives in the vicinity, this will be practically our only stop on the Golden Circle, it's too crowded for my taste.
Haifoss instantly became my favourite waterfall in Iceland, the road, er, more like a tankodrome, to get there is worth it, but then you are standing at the level of a waterfall that is over 100 metres high. If conditions permit, we descend below it, that's an even better experience then.
Here's probably not quite what it's all about, an icon of the south coast, and yeah, it's got a little something going for it, but it's not going to be the only waterfall to go to.
Just next to Sejlandsfoss there is this dip between the rocks where you can take this photo. Actually, you'll have to queue for it, but it's worth it.
After we climb the stairs above Skogafoss, we'll start hiking along the trail where you'll see lots of small waterfalls, beautiful canyons and views. Not many people go there, but they have no idea what they're missing.
A short distance from Skogafoss, there is another waterfall that you can go around and suddenly you are behind it. I call it the hidden gem of the south coast.
A plane wreck on a black beach is definitely worth seeing with your own eyes.
If you don't bring a drone with you, it doesn't matter at all, because places like Dyrhólaey offer a view of swathes of black beaches as well as drones.
The most famous beach in Iceland, with a basalt cave as a bonus. I myself am curious to see what face Reynisfjara will show us, I was lucky for the sunrise and calm ocean, but I think the waves and dramatic skies there will be worth it too.
We can't skip the day dedicated to canyons, first the better known one and then we will move on to the lesser known one.
Trail in Skaftafell National Park to the Svartifoss basalt waterfall.
One of the places where you will realize for yourself how monumental the glaciers in Iceland are, because you will be really close.
The canyon, which has only recently received attention, has no official road leading to it and the trail is marked only by plastic stakes in the gravel. That makes it all the more of an experience, a short walk uphill and suddenly you're standing on the edge of the precipice below, where a stream flows from a waterfall somewhere near the top. It's an incredibly beautiful place.
And when the shrubs float off into the ocean, it blows them back onto the beach, where smaller chunks of perfectly clear ice are formed.
Mount Vestrahorn in combination with the black beach looks absolutely stunning, when the water retreats back into the ocean after a wave, you can take away a photo with a reflection of Vestrahorn or you directly, there are no limits to imagination.
We can't miss the main place, the breathtaking cathedral, but also the excellent coffee, bakeries, food, shopping. There is an elevator in the cathedral so we can ride up and get a nice perspective of the capital.
