Recently returned from a trip to Iceland for my brother’s wedding. While there we had the opportunity to travel around the country a little and see some of the sites. The country is really amazing with stark vistas, gigantic icecaps, geysirs, waterfals and volcanoes. Perhaps the easiest way to see the land is to rent a car and travel highway 1 around the entire island. From Reykjavik it takes a week to travel the entire road, but if you have longer then you’ll have time to spend at some of the major sites. Some of the main attractions are the geyser at Strokkur, the waterfalls of Gullfoss and Dettifoss, the icecap Vatnajokull, the floating icebergs of Jokulsarlon, the West and East fjords, Lake Myvatn and surrounding area, and the towns of Akureyi, Husavik. There is more than I could describe in a short post here, but I will add some photos later.
I have posted some images on the my main website under an Iceland Gallery and on my Flickr site.
