The Icelandic South Coast

January 14, 2016.Reading time 8 minutes.

After a wonderful night gazing at the stunning Northern Lights, it was an early rise so that I could go exploring the South Coast of Iceland and eventually make it to Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon. Getting to Jökulsárlón from Reykjavik is far from a short drive! It can be done in a day, but if you aren’t […]

Descending Into A Volcano

January 6, 2016.Reading time 11 minutes.

After departing Greenland with tears in my eyes, it was back on to Iceland. As much as I love Iceland and was excited to go back, Greenland was just extra special for me. There’s only been a few places I have ever felt truly sad to leave, and Greenland is one of those places. However, […]

Snorkelling in a Blizzard

August 25, 2014.Reading time 9 minutes.

All too soon, it was my last day in Iceland. The five days flew by far too quickly and I was in no way ready to leave. I have enjoyed travelling all over Europe, but I can only name two or three places I have visited that I have loved so much that I have […]

Waterfalls & Glaciers in Gorgeous Iceland

August 24, 2014.Reading time 2 minutes.

Spending a day hiking around on a beautiful glacier has to be one of my favourite ways to spend a day. I could write pages and pages about how amazing it was, but the photographs say more than I will ever be able to. So here they are! So what do you think? Would you […]

A church and a Penis Museum in Reykjavik

August 23, 2014.Reading time 8 minutes.

After a previous big day and a late night out searching for the at times elusive Northern Lights, I had a free day ahead of me with which to spend exploring the city of Reykjavik on foot. I walked down the main shopping streets at first, but quickly became bored, so I ended up walking […]

Soaking in The Blue Lagoon

August 21, 2014.Reading time 11 minutes.

After spending the previous night on a Northern Lights tour, I wasn’t in the best mood when I woke up the next morning. I had made the mistake of going for the cheapest tour available, which was a bus tour with Reykjavik Excursions. Four full buses with 300 people, stopping at one destination, waiting out […]

Beautiful Iceland

August 20, 2014.Reading time 2 minutes.

So this is the third post for my first day in Iceland! The place is just so stunningly beautiful, it is impossible to take a bad picture, and consequently, I have many pictures. After we were done marvelling at the beautiful geysir, it was off to Þingvellir National Park. I was extremely glad for the […]

Meeting the Explosive Geysir

August 19, 2014.Reading time 1 minute.

After having an amazing morning dog sledding with massive Greenlandic Huskies, it was off to the famous Geysir. The original Geysir doesn’t erupt much anymore (guess he/she is getting a bit old) but a slightly smaller geysir – named Strokkur – erupts every 5-7 minutes and is pretty damn incredible. There really isn’t much to […]

Dog Sledding in Reykjavik

August 17, 2014.Reading time 7 minutes.

When planning my trip overseas I had been tossing up between going to Norway or to Iceland. In the end my desire to snorkel at Silfra won out and it was decided that a week in Iceland was on the cards. This was probably one of the best decisions of my life. Most of my Euro […]
