Our trip to Iceland was like a dream from beginning to end. But our journey along Iceland’s South Coast was our absolute favorite part of the trip. This section of […] The post Iceland Road Trip Part 2: The South Coast (Vik, Skaftafell, Jokulsarlon) appeared first on The RV Atlas.

Poznaliśmy atrakcje tzw. Diamentowego Kręgu: kompleks wulkaniczny Krafla i rejon Hverir z surrealistycznymi krajobrazami, jezioro Myvatn z pseudokraterami, wodospady Godafoss i Aldeyarfoss. Na wschodzie Islandii czekały na nas kolejne niezwykłe wodospady Hengifoss i Litlanesfoss. Poznaliśmy słynną lagunę lodowcową Jokulsarlon, wspaniałe jęzory lodowca Vatnajokull i jeziora lodowcowe. Skogafoss i Seljalandfoss to następne duże wodospady na naszej trasie. Na północy Islandii zwiedzaliśmy półwysep Dyrholaey ze znaną z „Gry o tron” piękną i groźną czarną plażą Reynisfjara z bazaltowymi kolumnami i samotnymi skałami stojącymi w oceanie. Na koniec popłynęliśmy na wyspę Heimaey, gdzie wspinaliśmy się na wulkan Eldfell, powstały w 1973roku w wyniku niespodziewanej erupcji będącej jedną z największych katastrof naturalnych Islandii. Gościem Jerzego Jopa była Danuta Rasała.

Jokulsarlon is one of Iceland's natural crown jewels, and the nearby black beach has coined the name Diamond Beach, as the ice chunks lying on it resemble diamonds glistening in the sun. Thousands of people are drawn to Jokulsarlon year-round to watch the free-flowing icebergs, explore the lagoon on boat tours, and snap pictures of seals. You can hear the calm iceberg and water flowing in this podcast. Feel the coldness and breeze. Feel the relaxation. If you like this podcast, do subscribe and you can get weekly updates. I'll upload more podcasts in the future. Thank you.

This episode covers Kim's itinerary all around Iceland. Her family travelled to Iceland during June and July 2022 and traveled around the loop- starting by going to the left (if you are looking down at a map).

Have you been to the land of fire and ice yet? If not, Sofia is going to help you plan your entire trip to ICELAND! First, Kristin shares a little bit about the time she is having in Alaska, and we talk about renewable energy. Then we really do a deep dive into everything Sofia knows about Iceland. Sofia starts with talking about what you should know when planning your trip, the Icelandic pledge, which rental car to rent and why (big story here) and then dives into why one would travel to Iceland and gives all of her Reykjavik recommendations. We discuss the Blue Lagoon, the Golden Circle and the food you can enjoy all over Iceland! She tells you where to go and what to do in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, and the incredible hike to Glymur falls which is halfway between Reykjavik and Snaefellsnes. Then we head further north to the western fjords, where Sofia saw Dynjandi waterfall and the northern lights! She also stayed on the coolest horse farm in the fjords, and recounts the crazy story of a car accident, and how she was saved by the wonderful people of Iceland. Then we discuss everything in southern Iceland. From the black sand beaches, Jokulsarlon, Vatnajokull Glacier, Skaftafell national park and everything in between! We hope this episode helps you plan your trip to Iceland, and understand why this small country is so absolutely incredible.

#Episode #3 UP, DOWN & THROUGH ICELAND, PART 2 This is Lydia's first time living in Iceland and Jonas' second time. They've both lived here for almost a year now and are both married to Icelanders so they've visited often and have travelled up, down and through Iceland. They have recommendations, do's and don'ts and tales of adventure to share. These are their stories. Insert Law & Order sound here. We had so much to say we had to split it into two parts (episodes 2 and 3). And then we still weren't done, so we served up a hot plate of bonus episode on our tips and recs for the ring road. THIS IS NOT SPONSORED CONTENT, Y'ALL. FER REAL. Just so you know, we are absolutely not getting paid for any of this. None of this is an advertisement or sponsored content or a "collaboration" (can you sense our collective eye roll?) with any companies or organizations or whatever other euphemism you have for getting paid to pretend something is your honest opinion. This is pure, unadulterated solid gold from our brainses. Enjoy. Wanna say thank you? Rate us and/or leave us a review. SHOW NOTES In this episode we mention lotsa places to visit. You can find more info on these places on the show's Google map as well as at the link's below. Go nuts with our Google Map (we made it just for you with ♥︎) Links to places mentioned for nature lovers (con'd) Icelandic horseback riding - tons of riding companies—some better than others—but you can check out reviews and other info on TripAdvisor Réttir sheep round-ups - great activity for the fall that happens all over the country, sheepy smells, lots of sweaters and sinning, a good time for families with kids (but know that drinking happens and some people get tipsy). This links to an Icelandic page with all the regional roundups (click on the map) and their dates (scroll down to the list). Unfortunately it is all in Icelandic and all for 2017, but you can at least get in idea of where they are and when they might happen. Seljavallalaug pool - We think we might have mistakenly called this "Seljalandslaug" in the show, but the correct name is Seljavallalaug. This is one of those "secret" pools that everyone actually knows about and is, ipso facto, very heavily trafficked and a little grody because of it. Also, the water temps are apparently not always dependably warm. Hrunalaug natural pool - Not gonna be too specific about this one since this pool is still relatively unvisited Landmannalaugar region - Amazing area to explore in the highlands (but not super easily accessible) Nýidalur Mountain Hut - Middle-of-nowhere oasis, waaaaaaaay up in the highlands, little piece of heav', you gotta wanna get there Reykjanes pool (Westfjords) - Great concrete pool outside a former children's boarding school (nothing creepy about that, right?) Mount Esja - Dramatic AF mountain situated across the bay from Reykjavík (meaning it's what you see any time you look north from the city). Readily accessibly with a great hiking trail until the last little bit, when you have to do some light climbing. You can even reach the trailhead with Reykjavík city bus. Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon - Simply one of the most stunning things you'll see in Iceland. You can pay through the nose to take an amphibious vehicle or zodiac out on the lagoon, and if you can afford, it's a pretty great experience. These days you have to book those trips way in advance, so don't wait until the last minute, y'all. for arty-farty, tooty-fruity folks Einar Jónsson Sculpture Museum - Don't need to overthink these sculptures. Everything is pretty accessible if your not too keen on a deep dive into arty-farty interpretations. Also, there is no admission charged for the sculpture garden behind museum. Ásmundarsafn Sculpture Museum (City Art Museum) - One of the campuses for the City Art Museum. Great, weird building and neat collection dedicated to 20th century Icelandic sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson and his role-poly work. A little outside of downtown towards Laugardalur recreation area. Hafnarhúsið (City Art Museum) - Another campus of the City Art Museum with rotating exhibits and a really nice space on the old harbor downtown. Kjarvalsstaðir (City Art Museum) - Third campus of the City Art Museum dedicated to beloved Icelandic painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval (some people LURVE him—others don't get it at all). Located in a park just east of downtown. Punk Museum - Located in a former public restroom, so, you know, shoes on. Very, very tiny. But crammed with fun things to see. Also, admission is pretty cheap (relatively speaking). Freddi Arcade & Toy Museum - Across from the Punk Museum above, this place is also a) tiny and b) located in the former public restroom. You can pay a flat fee here for an all-you-play old-school arcade game buffet. National Museum of Iceland - really great exhibits, great audio guides, neat collections and exhibits. Also, great coffee shop downstairs and one of the best museum shops in Reykjavík (local designs, curated selection of books and great postcards from the national photo archive) The Settlement Exhibition - Super fancy, hi-tech interactive but small exhibit about the settlement age in Iceland. Located in the basement of the hotel, which was the reason the relics were found in the first place (when they dig the foundation for the hotel) Bíó Paradís - art house theater in downtown Reykjavík with multiple screens (and also some blah Hollywood movies too) Tjarnarbíó - great, old art house theater with a cute lobby and some arty-farty shows (both live theater and movies) Ísafjarðarbíó - tiny af movie theater in the capital of the Westfjords, Ísafjörður Kaffibarinn bar - scenester INSTITUTION in downtown Reykjavík. Others have come and gone, but Kaffibarinn endures. Like a bad herpes outbreak. JK. Great music. Great vibe. But be prepared to pony up for the drinks.

#Bonus #1 ONE RING ROAD TO RULE THEM ALL! Traveling along the Ring Road (Route 1) is a great way to experience the natural beauty of Iceland. It takes you around the entire country, with the exceptions of the Westfjords and Snæfellsnes peninsula and you can do it in less than two weeks. If Jonas and Lydia can do it, so can you. THIS IS NOT SPONSORED CONTENT, Y'ALL. FER REAL. Just so you know, we are absolutely not getting paid for any of this. None of this is an advertisement or sponsored content or a "collaboration" (can you sense our collective eye roll?) with any companies or organizations or whatever other euphemism you have for getting paid to pretend something is your honest opinion. This is pure, unadulterated solid gold from our brainses. Enjoy. Wanna say thank you? Rate us and/or leave us a review. SHOW NOTES In this episode we mention lotsa places to visit along the ring road. You can find more info on these places on the show's Google map as well as at the link's below. Go nuts with our Google Map (we made it just for you with ♥︎) Links to places mentioned (listed on the ring road going counterclockwise from Reykjavík, i.e. South Coast first) Veragerðin web site - Check road conditions here before you go. Conveniently, the URL is just "road.is" for the English version of the site. Hveragerði town - The little town you see when you're coming down from the mountain pass from Reykjavík. There's a lot of geothermal activity around town (which is why there are so many greenhouses), so it's not a bad stop. Eyrarbakki - Cute AF seaside village. But what they DON'T say on the tourist web site is that this little piece o' heaven is also home to Litla Hraun maximum security prison. It's not exactly Sing Sing, but it might be worth a drive by. Stokkseyri - Eyrarbakki's partner in crime (pun intended) is this adorbs little village. More historical homes on the seashore. But instead of the max sec prison, this place got a cute little restaurant called Fjöruborðið where they specialize in Iceland's teeny-tiny lobsters (they look like crawdads, folks). But they serve 'em by the pailful here with boiled potatoes so it's a fun place to have dinner. Seljalandsfoss waterfall - The parking lot will probably be full. Just figure it out, Francis! Just park the damn car. Skógafoss waterfall - Yes another stunning, life-changing waterfall. Again, parking is going to be a nightmare unless you visit at midnight in the dead of winter. Just make it work, Mary! Get the damn picture. Plane wreck at Sólheimasandur - Park on the roadside and walk down to the wreck. Nothing is marked, so just look for a gravely area and an opening in the fence with a cattle guard. It's a 4-km hike, so give yourself about 45 minutes to get there. If Justin Bieber can figure it out, so can you. Because nothing is marked, use our Google Map to find your way. We dropped pins for the parking area and the wreck and we've also got a walking path marked in. I know, I know. You're welcome. Vík village - Vík used to be a wide spot in the road (albeit a jaw-droopingly beautiful wide spot), but with the boom in tourism the village has really swollen—and I mean that in mainly a "infected and swollen" kind of way. The shop in town has gotten criminally expensive and it with all the clamor for tourist money, the village has lost its charm somewhat. Nevertheless, its swimming pool is fantastic and the locals are still very kind. Reynisfjara beach - Stop the car. Bring your camera. It's just the black volcanic sand beach and columnar basalt formations to make all your Instagram followers jelly. Don't miss the Reynisdrangar sea stacks and the Dyrhólaey arch. It's all right there on the coast. Skaftafell National Park - Just super gorgeous and windy. Right there under the glacier. If you are not carried off by the gales, then don't miss Svartifoss waterfall and all the columnar basalt insanity happening around it. Djúpivogur village - Good pit stop with little hobbit huts. Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon - Simply one of the most stunning things you'll see in Iceland. You can pay through the nose to take an amphibious vehicle or zodiac out on the lagoon, and if you can afford, it's a pretty great experience. These days you have to book those trips way in advance, so don't wait until the last minute, y'all. Atlavík - Pretty great camping spot with… TREES! Like, an actual forest-type situation. You're also right next to gorgeous Lagarfljót lake. Hallormsstaðaskógur - The largest forest in Iceland, which, honestly, is not saying much. But it is woodland wonderland if you care to make a day of it. Fjarðabyggð (the villages of Reyðarfjörður, Eskifjörður, Neskaupstaður, Stöðvarfjörður, Fáskrúðsfjörður and Mjóifjörður) - Really super cute group of little villages in the East Fjords. Some of the street signs Fáskrúðsfjörður are in French since back in the day some French sailors got stuck there at some point and just decided to stay. Borgarfjörður eystri - Very remote but also very beautiful. The slogan for the village is literally "better than you expect", but it really is a remarkable place to stop of you've made it all the way out east. Dettifoss waterfall - Iceland's big daddy waterfall. It doesn't get any waterfallier than this. Kind of a pain in the ass to get to—you probably need a 4x4 and the road is closed in the winter and spring. But if you have the wheels, you won't regret the side trip. Lake Mývatn - While the lake is called Mývatn, the region that surrounds it also goes by the same name. There is lots to do here like all kinds of hiking, some crazy volcanic craters and Mývatn Nature Baths (the poor man's Blue Lagoon, and by poor man's, we mean only slightly more reasonably priced). Lots of little flies and lots of duck poop. So watch your step and keep your goddam mouth closed! Akureyri - Iceland's second largest city (and when I say city, I mean around 18,000 people, so keep your MetroCards in your wallets). Hrísey Island - This is like the Newport of Iceland. Anybody who's anybody has a summer house on Hrísey. Catch the ferry from Árskógsandur and don't forget your steamer trunks, egg cups and scullery maids. Grímsey Island - This is Iceland's northernmost point and the only part of Iceland that's actually above the Arctic Circle. It's a very small community and heart-stoppingly beautiful. Catch the ferry from Dalvík or fly from Akureyri. We skipped two large regions in the west—the Westfjords and Snæfellsnes—in these notes since they're not on the ring road, but we'll probably come back to them in later episodes. So fast forward to though the west all the way to Borgarnes. Borgarnes - Great little town just north of Reykjavík. If you have time visit the Settlement Center with its two museums. The museums are small and really well done. The exhibitions are a little old, but some of them include these amazing screwed-together, rough-hewn wooden sculptures. Audio guides are well narrated too. And whatever you do, do not miss the frikin' amazing buffet at the museum restaurant—especially if you're a veggie. Some of the best food and not just in Borgarnes, but in the WHOLE GODDAM COUNTRY. And it's only like 2000 kr. for insanely good vegetarian food. If only it were closer! Hvalfjörður and the tunnel - If you just haven't had enough of all Iceland's frickin' amazing natural beauty, you can extend your trip by an hour on the last stretch into Reykjavík by driving Hvalfjörður fjord instead of taking the subterranean tunnel (which is kind of rad in its own right).

The Amateur Traveler talks to Dave Grenewetzki about his recent trip to Iceland. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Icelandic economy Dave and his family drove the ring road around Iceland and visited places with great names like the waterfalls Svartifoss, Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss and Gulfoss, Lake Myvatn and the dark castles of Dimmuborgir, the glacial lagoon of Jokulsarlon, the geysers of Geysir and Strokkur, the geothermal activity of Namaskard pass, the university town of Akureyri, the hobbit-like town of Glaumbaer. They went bird watching at Ingolfshofdi, took in the baths at the Blue Lagoon, took the free welcome walking tour of Reykjavik with Jonas, zigzagged between icebergs, hiked to Thingvellir, and took in the tourist attraction of the Midlina bridge.
