You have finally decided to visit Iceland. But you can’t decide when it is the best time to visit the land of fire and ice. Most people choose summer because the weather is as good as it can get and the days are long. Others choose winter to witness the snowy landscapes. But there are […]

Icelandic nature is full of breathtaking landscapes. Waterfalls, glaciers, rock formations and mountains make driving around the island an unforgettable experience. In this blog post I will give you some information about four of the most stunning mountains I had the chance to visit during my September and October road trip! These are the must […]

Iceland is full of huge rock formations. This one is Gatklettur, aka the “Hellnar Arch”. A famous, naturally formed circular stone arch found between the villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. In the past you could even get down to the soar. It is forbidden now, probably it was dangerous because of […]

Reynisfjara black sand beach gives you a close up view of the huge Reynisdrangar basalt sea stacks. It is located at the south coast of Iceland, just beside the small fishing village of Vik i Myrdal. Unfortunately, due to a severe windstorm, rocks had fallen onto the beach. Therefore we were not allowed to get […]

Diamond beach in Iceland owns its name to the chunks of icebergs floating ashore which look exactly like diamonds on the black sand beach. Breiðamerkursandur is the icelandic name, but I think diamond beach is much easier to pronounce! An amazing place to visit. Combine it with a beautiful sunrise and it becomes magical! At […]

Eystrahorn is another epic mountain, located on the south east coast of Iceland, very close to Vestrahorn. There were far less people here though, just another photographer. However it is very easy to get there due to its proximity to the Ring Road. Some people refer to it as a hidden Icelandic gem! Here you […]

Brunnhorn mountain is located in south-east Iceland. It is also known as Batman mountain because of its three peaks that look like Batman’s logo! Others say that it looks like a dragon! Here you can see a perfect reflection of the mountain into the sea. A peak of Vestrahorn covered with snow can also be […]

Probably the best known photo of Kirkjufell is the one with the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls in front of it. However if you explore the area a little, and the weather allows it, you can find a perfect reflection of the mountain. Just look around for photographers with tripods! We were lucky enough to have no wind […]

The black church of Budir, named Búðakirkja, stands out of the surrounding landscape thanks to its color. It is painted black with pitch to protect it from the harsh Icelandic weather. Its black color makes a wonderful contrast to the cloud mountains in the background. Although it is isolated this place is popular for weddings […]
