If you've ever looked at a map of Iceland and thought, “Oh wow, it's tiny — we can totally see everything,” you are not alone. I hear this all the time. And honestly? It makes sense. Iceland looks small on a map, but traveling through it is a very different experience. I'm going to explain why Iceland being ‘small' is actually misleading, and how that misunderstanding causes a lot of travelers to overpack their itineraries, underestimate drive times, and end up more stressed than they expected. How Map Illusion Makes Iceland’s Size Confusing Yes, Iceland is about the size of Kentucky. But unlike many places, almost all travel happens on a single main road, and that road isn't a straight highway from point A to point B. Driving in Iceland involves: Winding roads One-lane bridges Changing weather Sudden stops because… well… waterfalls, sheep, and stunning landscapes For example, Reykjavík to Vík doesn't look far, but that drive alone can take 2.5 to 3 hours, and that's without stopping. And no one ever drives Iceland without stopping. Now add: Limited daylight in winter Weather delays Gravel roads Fatigue from constant visual stimulation Suddenly, “just one more stop” becomes the thing that breaks your day. This is where travelers get tripped up — they plan based on distance, not time. I've seen itineraries that say: “Golden Circle in the morning, South Coast in the afternoon.” Technically? Possible. Realistically? Exhausting. I Learned the Hard Way Even after living in Iceland for years, I still plan conservatively. Not because I can't do more, but because I've learned the hard way. There have been a few times when I stuffed my itinerary so much that I felt tired, stressed, and annoyed. Traveling felt more like a chore than an adventure. How to Realistically Plan a Trip to Iceland That is Personalized for You If you're planning a trip to Iceland and feeling overwhelmed by all the information out there, I want to invite you to my Live Iceland Trip Planning Workshop happening on January 31st, 2026. It is the first one of this year and is extremely helpful for getting a head start on planning your trip in Iceland for 2026 and beyond. This is a live, interactive workshop where I help you understand how to plan your trip realistically, from driving distances and timing, to choosing the right season, and building an itinerary that actually works. You'll also be able to ask me your questions in real time, which is honestly one of the most valuable parts. I also do a giveaway of Iceland related prizes at the end of the workshop. One prize is a one-one video consultation with me, which is normally all booked up because I have few slots open for that throughout the year. If you want clarity, confidence, and a solid plan instead of stress, here are is where you can secure your spot for the live workshop. Random Fact of the Episode The total length of the ring road or route 1 is 1,322 kilometres (821 mi), making it the longest ring road in Europe. It connects the majority of towns together in the most densely populated areas of the country. Icelandic Word of the Episode Tími (tee-mi) — Time A perfect reminder that in Iceland, planning by time, not distance, is what makes or breaks a trip.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 600 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The legend of goat mountain, Brian wants a new Les Paul, and behold - the Human Riff!We join the guys in a bizarre stand off as they convene for the annual "No Richards" party at NAMM and there is a mysterious portent. Meanwhile the guys come up with a new idea for a business and it is swiftly erased from memory. Blake has a special British guest on Tape Spaghetti this week and spills all.Brian has GAS for a Les Paul and the guys discuss it before looking at an all new ES 355 from Gibson that has quite the price tag and we learn that Brian has a lot on his mind. Richard found some new David Gilmour footage and it simultaneously ignites a new debate and nearly bores Brian to sleep.There is some Grand Theft Auto action as Blake makes a terrible admission about his gaming history. Meanwhile Richard is editing a book about a famous Californian band and it has awoken a deeper understanding - but not of how to pronounce names. He and Brian also drop some teases about what they are showing at NAMM.
