Vik to Höfn and everywhere in between

Day 4: Vik to Höfn and everywhere in between Starting with  Fjaðrárgljúfur (Troll land) Try pronouncing that one Fjaðrárgljúfur is a short canyon about 2 km long and 100 m deep but stunning all around. There are 3 viewing areas with the last being the largest and also the BEST as you can see this near waterfall and have the "iconic" shot of the canyon.

Exploring Southern Iceland

Day 3: The epicness that is Southern Iceland: 2 spectacular and unique waterfalls, an old hot pool in the mountains, rugged cliffs, basalt columns, and black sand. This drive is a MUST when visiting Iceland. First stop: Seljalandsfoss .  Best known as the waterfall you can walk behind.

Day 2: Waterfalls and rainbows as we drove the famous Golden Circle .  Up and early we had breakfast and were out by 8 with our first stop: Þingvellir (Thingvellir in English) National Park, just a short drive away.

Ok so here we go with Iceland blog posts! One trip directly to another, but I promise I will do a few summary posts from previous trips one of these days so the actual itinerary is easier to see. But for now, I can't wait to share our amazing experience in Iceland! We met up with our 2 friends Katie and Thatcher at a bright and early 6:45 AM (12:45 our time) and hit the ground running exploring Iceland's capital city Reykjavik.  First stop: The Harpa Concert Hall.
