It was already our 5th day in Iceland, half of our trip gone by... After an amazing breakfast in Kjarnholt, we quickly hit the road to Landmannalaugar for a day of hiking. We stopped at Hrauneyar, the last inhabited place before we ventured into the wild, to do some sh

Hiking in Landmannalaugar
This morning the sky was clear and the temperature rather mild (12°) for once. This was great news since we had planned to do the short hike that led from Arnarstapi to Hellnar along the coast. It was no effort but still a 2.5 km walk from the port, or 2 km if you star

We got up around 7:30AM and after taking a hot shower we went down to the ground floor to have breakfast. The morning meal in Kirkjuhvoll was also excellent, the children couldn't get enough! The sky seemed rather clear and at 9AM we left, but we stopped immediately in

Today the sun came out as soon as we woke up at 8AM. This was ideal as we planned to go to the Westmann Islands that day. We had booked the Ferry a few months ago from Landeyahöfn, and it was waiting for us at 12:30PM sharp. We took the time to enjoy our last breakfast

We check Vedur.is that morning and confirm the weather forecast from the previous day. We give up on the project to explore Kjolur and decide to go to Kerlingarfjöll instead to focus on a few points of interest in the region that we missed. We strike out for Road 32 an

Today we planned to explore the Golden Circle region, but this time without touring the 3 main sites of the region. We had already seen them many times so this time we would sleep near Fluðir, which would be our guesthouse for 3 nights in order to fan out in all direct

We set the alarm to 8AM that morning, and thankfully the weather was at least as nice as the day before, with 6°, and the wind seemed less present, giving the impression of a much better temperature. Today we were doing the Golden Circle (Gullfoss, Geysir, Thingvellir)

The alarm went off at 7:30AM and the sky was as clear as ever, boding well for our big day. Today we had planned to visit the parts of the Reykjanes Peninsula that we had never had the opportunity to see: Lake Kleifarvatn and Krisuvik. Then, we planned to drive along th

After a few weeks of earthquakes shaking up the region, the Bárðarbunga volcanno south of Askja has woken from its slumber in late August this year. The first sign of this event was a fissure that opened up in Holuhraun, north of Dyngjujökull, issuing smoke and magma

We left the guesthouse at 5AM the next morning to take the famously and dreadfully early Keflavik-Paris flight via Icelandair. We parked the brave Jimny in the parking lot where Magnus had asked us to leave it on the first day. A few minutes later, one of his very frien

Today we returned to the capital, a bit sad to realize that the trip was already ending. Upon waking up, the weather was slightly cloudy. We had been spoiled with the weather, we must say that we had almost no rain throughout the stay, which was quite remarkable here, s
