Iceland- Trying to find the Milky Way

Iceland- Stokksnes

Stokknes is a promontory a couple of miles north of Höfn below the Vestrahorn mountain. To get to Stokksnes (coming from Höfn) you need to take a right before the tunnel on road #1 going north. There is a gravel road that leads to a small cafe called the Viking Cafe. The land is privately...

Iceland- Dettifoss

Dettifoss, the plunging waterfall, is the volume richest waterfall of Europe and the largest of Northern Iceland. Dettifoss can be reached on different roads although in the winter there is only one way possible which is Road No. 862 (approach from the west side). 862 is paved but not attended by road services, therefore in...

Iceland-Eastfjords

Unfortunately we had really bad weather when we passed through the east fjords. Already on the way from Akureyri to Egilstadir, the center of the East, it was snowing all the time including pretty windy conditions and also on the next day it was even worse. The road conditions were lets say challenging, snow, basically...

Icelan- Myvatn

The second stop on the Diamond Circle in Northern Iceland is directly located along the Ring Road (Road #1), the Myvatn. Myvatn means Mosquito lake in Icelandic. In the summer thousands of mosquitos fly around the lake. Not even a single mosquito was present in the first week of March 🙂 but we did see...

Iceland- Goðafoss

The first stop of the Diamond Circle in Northern Iceland is Goðafoss, the waterfall of the gods. It is spectacular and beautiful. Not the biggest of all waterfalls but one of the most beautiful.

Love is all around in Akureyri, Iceland

When we arrived in Akureyri, the second largest city in Iceland after Reykjavik and the biggest city in northern Iceland, it was snowing like crazy eventhough the weather forecast had forecasted sunshine that afternoon! My mood was lifted immensely when we had to stop at a traffic light and I saw the form of the...

Iceland- Hraunfossar

After a very exciting night of watching lady aurora we explored the area around Borganes a little more. After some online research I found the Hraunfossar. A series of little waterfalls which looked very pretty. The trip there was already cool, the road (523) travels along a river and towards the Langjökull glacier. It is...
