  • Itinerary - Iceland Ring Road Complete - 15 Days
    Itinerary - Iceland Ring Road Complete - 15 Days DAY 1: FROM REYKJAVÍK TO THE SNÆFELLSNES PENINSULA Are you ready to begin your adventure around Iceland? The first day takes you out of Reykjavík and under the sea, through the Hvalfjarðargöng tunnel, to the friendly town of Borgarnes. Situated in the beautiful Borgarfjörður fjord, with a magnificent mountain view, Borgarnes is home to the fantastic Settlement Center and many Saga sites. Next, you go to the Snæfellsnes peninsula, passing the volcanic crater Eldborg, through a lava field, and a couple of tiny towns by the sea, all offering great hiking opportunities. Now brace yourselves, as you are about to enter a place of (supposed) supernatural powers: Snæfellsjökull glacier and volcano, where Jules Verne based his novel "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". A view to the glacier 1 dominates the park, but it is only visible on relatively bright days. Highlights in the national park include walks on Djúpalónssandur beach, known for its lava formations, pebble stones, and trial stones for strength. Walks by the picturesque cliffs at Arnarstapi is another highlight, especially in the summer when the birdlife can be enjoyed simultaneously. Don't miss a walk to the mysterious black church located close to the yellow sand beach enveloped by black lava at Búðir. Carry on your drive around the peninsula, through several very pretty towns by the sea, including the lovely small town of Grundarfjörður and its beautiful surroundings, dominated by the mountain Kirkjufell. You can also visit the Bjarnarhöfn shark processing exhibition and/or spend some time visiting the beautiful town of Stykkishólmur, with its many pretty houses close to the harbour.

  • The Best of Iceland
    04_178416-ch01.qxp 5/29/08 8:59 AM Page 1 1 The Best of Iceland On each trip to Iceland, we are always struck by how often other travelers are—or intend to be—repeat visitors. Many come year after year, never exhausting Iceland’s endless variations of magnificent scenery and adventure. Returning travelers immedi- ately recognize the crisp, invigorating polar air, and what W. H. Auden called “the most magical light of anywhere on earth.” Iceland’s astonishing beauty often has an austere, primitive, or surreal cast that arouses reverence, wonderment, mystery, and awe. Lasting impressions could include a lone tuft of wildflowers amid a bleak desert moonscape or a fantastical promenade of icebergs calved into a lake from a magisterial glacier. The Icelandic people—freedom-loving, egalitarian, self-reliant, and worldly—are equally exceptional. They established a parliamentary democracy over a millennium ago, and today write, publish, purchase, and read more books per capita than any peo- ple on earth. Reykjavík, their capital, has become one of the world’s most fashionable urban hot spots. In November 2007, the U.N. named Iceland the world’s best coun- try to live in, based on life expectancy, education levels, medical care, income, and other criteria. 1 The Best Natural Wonders • Glymur: Iceland’s tallest waterfall is • Blue Lagoon: The central activity nimble and graceful: Streamlets at this spa—Iceland’s top tourist descend like ribbons of a maypole attraction—is bathing in a shallow, into a fathomless canyon mantled in opaque, blue-green lagoon amid a bird nests and lush mosses.

  • Roadtrip Ijsland Voor Fotografen
    ROADTRIP IJSLAND VOOR FOTOGRAFEN IJsland is op dit moment erg populair en dat merk je, enorme hoeveelheden toeristen die je tegenkomt bij de bekende bezienswaardigheden. (groei toerisme was in 2016 plus 70%) Bus ladingen vol met “standaard” toeristen, dus vooral in de weg staand en selfies makend, maken het voor de wat meer serieuze fotografen moeilijk om nog goede platen te schieten. Maar ook deze serieuze fotografen maken het elkaar soms moeilijk, 10-12 statieven met big stoppers naast elkaar voor dezelfde waterval is geen uitzondering. Nu heeft dat standaard massa toerisme ook een voordeel, het is voorspelbaar waar je ze tegen komt en dus is het met wat zoeken te ontlopen. Daarom deze roadtrip met vele tips voor fotografen die rustig willen fotograferen en hiervoor bereid zijn om van de gebaande weg af wijken. Veel mensen volgen de rondweg ( weg nr. 1) en nu is daar niets op tegen maar dat is ook de standaard weg voor het massa toerisme dus zul je zo nu en dan deze weg moeten verlaten. Ik zal proberen aan te geven hoe druk het bij de verschillende plaatsen is, de ervaringen hier voor uit 2016 en wel augustus – september (in juni – july zal het nog drukker zijn) (0) = geen toeristen (*) = weinig toeristen (*****) = zeer veel toeristen Natuurlijk zijn er ook de verplichte nummers, die ondanks de meestal vele toeristen, toch de moeite waard zijn om te bezoeken. (sommige zijn in de trip opgenomen) Deze roadtrip gaat uit van de ringweg (weg nr 1), met de klok mee en startend in Seydisfjordur. Dit omdat hier de ferry uit Denemarken aankomt en ik de reis naar IJsland altijd met de eigen auto maak.
