Rebecca

Meine Islandbegeisterung begann mit meiner Reitkarriere irgendwann im Alter von 12 Jahren... die besagte „Karriere" endete eher abrupt, die Liebe zu Island führte mich jedoch nach meinem Abi zum ersten Mal in den hohen Norden. Ich kam immer wieder zurück und erstellte schließlich meine Bachelor-Arbeit auf der Insel, ein fotobasiertes Magazin über Design und Architektur Islands. Nach meinem Bachelor-Abschluss in Fotografie von der FH Dortmund wagte ich dann den Schritt und machte Reykjavík zu meiner Heimat. Ich liebe die raue Natur und die Atlantikküste und gebe euch gerne Tipps zu den besten F

Nanna

An actress and a food addict based in 101 Reykjavík (what locals call a 'downtown rat'). I've lived around the world, in Brazil, Spain, Norway, Argentina, England and Estonia - and besides Icelandic I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and Norwegian. If you need tips about Icelandic culture, food, theatre, dance, art and what to do in Reykjavík - get in touch! I've also travelled extensively in Iceland, so if you need some nature tips, I've got some of them too.

Xiaochen

很小的时候就向往冰岛，却也没想到能在这里生活。第一次来冰岛是2010年从美国毕业，而后辗转到新加坡工作，期间多次回到冰岛旅行，就这样在赤道和极圈之间往返，直到14年生活在这里。很多朋友说我是学霸，这股认真劲儿也用在了对冰岛的热爱上，从旅行到文化，通过阅读和实际体验，有很多心得体会，也主要通过文章的方式和大家分享了出来。在这里，写一些攻略游记帮助大家更好的计划冰岛行。如果你有什么问题，欢迎发信息留言给我。注：我不是导游，只提供信息。如果是关于行程的具体策划安排，请联系Guide to Iceland的专业中文客服团队。微信只家人用，所以请不要问微信号码，见谅。但是不论是关于在冰岛自驾、冰岛旅行团，还是文化方面，我会尽自己所能在这里帮助你解答。祝冰岛旅途愉快！

SomethingElfs

Mieszkam na Islandii od kilku lat i staram się zrozumieć nie tylko ten kraj, ale również jego mieszkańców. Od jakiegoś czasu Islandia jest popularnym kierunkiem, który przyciąga ludzi z całego świata. Mamy tutaj sporą grupę emigrantów z Polski, ludzi niebywale kreatywnych, zmieniających rzeczywistość, ciężko pracujących, którzy idealnie wpasowali się w islandzki krajobraz. Stanowią ważny element społeczeństwa, a nie tylko “element” jak to często bywa określane w mediach:) Co jakiś czas będę pisać o kraju, który przyjął mnie nie tylko piękną naturą, wolnością czy pozwolił dowiedzieć się jak wie

Living in Iceland has changed my perception of nature.I fell in love with the rugged and pristine nature of Iceland and had no other choice but to pick up a camera and hold on to these feelings.

Estoy aquí por nueve meses y cada día que pasa estoy más enamorada de este país. Soy una persona a la que no le gusta para nada el frío ni la oscuridad. Pero también me considero aventurera y quería desafiarme en este sentido. Vine a Islandia por ver, tanto fotografías como vídeos en internet, y la verdad que no me han defraudado para nada. Es más, las fotografías se quedan cortas cuando ves la realidad. Si quieres saber cosas sobre este bonito p

Steffi ist die eine Hälfte. Ich die Andere. Zusammen haben wir die Seite tónlist.de ins Leben gerufen. Auf tónlist.de und in unserem Blog hier auf Guide to Iceland dreht sich alles um ein Thema: Musik aus Island! Warum wir das machen? Islands Musikszene ist unglaublich reich an phantastischen Bands aller Stilrichtungen. Aber leider sind diese Bands außerhalb des Landes, natürlich von einigen großartigen Ausnahmen abgesehen, oft nur sehr wenigen bekannt. Dabei gibt es so viel Wunderbares, Einzigartiges, Abwechslungsreiches und manchmal auch Skurriles zu entdecken! Und zwar in einer Menge, die s

Oliver

Ich lebe und arbeite auf Island nun seit über 3 Jahren. Bereits viel früher habe ich mir ein Virus eingefangen, das sogenannte Islandvirus. Alles begann im Jahr 2009, als ich direkt nach dem Studium ein Auslandspraktikum in Island absolviert habe. In dieser Zeit hatte ich viel Gelegenheit, Land und Leute kennen zu lernen… und um mich gründlich mit besagtem Virus zu infizieren. In den kommenden Jahren bin ich immer wieder zum Urlaub machen und Reisen hergekommen. Als irgendwann auch das nicht mehr ausreichte, um meine Symptome zu lindern, wurden die Koffer gepackt, um nach Reykjavík umzuziehen.

We really enjoy getting guests to our beautiful small town. I am a tour guide and can give you information’s about best trips in the area. I can also plan a tour for you to my favorite places on the west side of Iceland.

I love to get my adrenaline going, that’s why I practised gymnastics for most of my life but nowadays I go skiing/snowboarding and get my kick out of the slopes, tivolis, waterparks, snowmobiles and stuff like that. But I also know how to relax and trust me there are also plenty of ways to do that here. So if there’s anything you want to know just ask me and I’ll try to help you out the best way I can :)

It was Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík that first attracted me to Iceland in 2015. I had spent fifteen years detailing high rise, glass façade buildings as an architectural technician but none that I worked on were as superb as Harpa. The more I studied Harpa, the more I appreciated it. And I also became intrigued with Iceland and Icelanders. So I researched (a lot) and soon I was being commissioned around Cambridge to talk about Iceland and Icelanders- about the sagas, Icelandic sheep and knitting, the nation's keen interest in outdoor bathing and about how a building like Harpa can inspire

But I know god, well not exactly – I know a guy who knows god and speaks to him frequently, (so I am the one who might hook you up with good conditions). Also, the Weathergod himself lives in Iceland, he is called Ingó – we can give him a call, meet up and sing a song or two.

Chasing Waterfalls in Iceland

Iceland is spectacular in so many ways and Icelandic nature is quite unique with its vast landscape, volcanic activity, geothermal areas, glacier lagoons and sceneries, black sand beaches and spectacular mountain ridges. The country's most recognizable series of attractions though are maybe the endless amount of waterfalls making Iceland quite unique. Once I heard the number 10.000. I'm not sure about this number but I sure know that they are in abundance and wherever you go you will find a waterfall so chasing them is easy. Why

Sænautasel Turf House in the Highlands of Iceland

On my search for turf houses around Iceland I visited Sænautasel turf house on Jökuldalsheiði heath in the highlands of Iceland. It is in my opinion an extremely cute turf house :) Sænautasel dates back to 1843 and for 95 years people lived in this beautiful turf house - until 1943 when the last people moved out. From 1840 until 1862 sixteen turf houses were built on the heath. Now only Sænautasel is remaining. Snænautasel is one of the homes, which had to b

The dynamic plant Lupin

People have been asking me where to find lupines in Iceland. If you like them you should be able to find them easily in Iceland in summer. They are in bloom and visible almost wherever you drive around the country, very often along roads and lakes. Looking at those purple fields sometimes reminds of a beautiful lavender field and the lupines sure make a beautiful and a vibrant scene wherever you go this time of year. In Iceland we mostly have the purple species but lupines come in several colours; purple, blue, pink, red, yellow and white. The lupine is one of the tal

Secret waterfall on the South Coast

You don't need to go far from the city to explore and enjoy amazing and beautiful places. Iceland is known for its large number of waterfalls and even if we have countless falls they are all very unique and differ from each other. I love to discover new waterfalls because it's one of my favourite subject to shoot. Not so long ago I discovered this magical hidden gem on the south co

Midnight Sun Season in Kirkjufell

The best time to capture the sunset at Kirkjufell mountain would be from the beginning of july and until the end of august. The scenery can be quite amazing as the sun sets into the ocean. See this article for more information about the Midnight sun in Iceland. This is taken from the harbour in Grundarfjörður on 29. june 2013. In Grundarfjörður the sun disappears in november and the residents of Grundarfjörður can not see it again until the beginning of february. Often they celebrate this by making pancakes when they get the glimpse of the sun above the mountai

The Unpredictable Winter Weather in Iceland

Don't give in even if the weather isn't playing perfectly along Photographers coming to Iceland are often hoping to capture that perfect scene in perfect light. Those who are here on shorter trips often only dedicate one or two days to photography. If the weather isn’t cooperating don’t cave in! Those gloomy days often present the opportunity to get great images for those who dare out! This is especially applicable during the winter months. The weather can be ever changing and in many cases you could be heading out in a blizzard and still through the course of the

Puffins in Iceland

Did you know that Atlantic puffins spend most of their lives at sea, but return to land to form breeding colonies during spring and summer? Iceland is one of those colonies because in spring time they come over here for nesting and Iceland is the breeding home for about 60 percent of the world's Atlantic puffins. Puffins can be seen in Iceland from early April until September each year. There are more than one puffin species but the one that breeds in Iceland is the so called Atlantic Puffin. What makes them special is the penguin like colour with a very colourfu

Geothermal Areas - Beautiful, Steamy Smelly Spots

Do you also like the smell in the geothermal areas of Iceland ? As you know Iceland is known for its geothermal activity. I guess most of us who live here are used to all this but I have the feeling that travelers do not agree with us at least not about liking the smell. If you wanna experience such geothermal spots we have some very close to Reykjavík city for example in the Krísuvík area and the Grindavík area on the Reykjanes peninsula.

Winter is gone, summer is here!

As winter slowly resides and releases its stronghold on Iceland I thought I’d share with you some pictures of winter in Iceland. This picture was taken on a tour which I got here through Guide to Iceland that was fairly long, 9 days, and where my group really got to know what Iceland is made of during the wintertime. For me personally I’m very happy if I get one good image a day in tour like this. Not necessarily a great image, just a good one. If we put that in to perspective it’s actually quite an achievement to maintain that. The best light as most photographers kn

Mighty Mother Nature and her Little Quirks

You want to know the reason umbrellas don’t work in Iceland? Because most rainfall is horizontal. There is much truth to this little joke. There will be some wind and rain, sleet or snow during your visit. If not, you could always try to get a refund. One thing for sure though, it’s always a good conversation topic. Learning about weather is a large part of any pilot’s training. Knowledge comes both in academic and practical forms, sometimes in the form of hair-raising scenarios for the novice, after which, a change of underwear might be appropriate. But with time, those sit

Is Iceland really a photographer's paradise?

''It´s a photographers paradise''. You might have heard this before about Iceland. Well, I certainly have. But is it really? And if it is, what exactly is it that people are referring to, when they say that there is no place better to take a landscape photo than here, in Iceland. One thing is sure though. No way you can say that Iceland is undiscovered by photographers. Certainly, not in the last few years. Amount of photo tours and workshops have been rapidly increasing and there's a stream of amateur and professional photographers coming in al

Walking inside a ''beautiful nothing''

Kálfafellsdalur is a long glacier valley located south east of Vatnajökull. The valley is scarred with streams collectively called Miðvötn or Landkvísl and at the very end of the valley you can find steep glacier tongue called Brókarjökull (Breeches glacier). This is another place, where you can not find any signs and is rather difficult to hike in. However it´s a perfect place to disconnect from the outer world and marvel the ''beautiful nothingness'' of Icelandic nature. The valley is easily spotted from the ring road. The entr

Best Places to Shoot the Northern lights in West Iceland

I live in the West part of Iceland, close to the nature and close to some great location for shooting northern lights. In this post I'm going to tell and show you a few good places to visit if you want to shoot the northern lights in this part of Iceland. Before you go out to shoot the northern lights it is important to be well dressed because you will need to stay out in the cold for some time and usually you don't have the opportunity to move around very much. Besides all photographic gear it is also important to take with you a head light. That is important

Northern lights visible again, but where to go?

Finally they are visible again, this wonder of the sky, I am talking about the northern lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. People often ask me where to go to see the lights. My answer is "out of the light pollution", but you dont have to go very far away from the light pollution as these pictures show. The two main things to check before heading out for an aurora hunt are the clouds (they can tend to get in the way of a good shot) and the activity of the lights (aim for a pretty high activity for better visibility). The northern lights are only visible during the dark of the

Attractions by Skaftafell Nature Reserve

Skaftafell National Park was established in 1967 but as from 2008 it became a part of the larger Vatnajokull National Park.

See also: National Parks in Iceland See also: Skaftafell tours When travelling around Iceland this part of the country should not be left out because there are breathtaking sceneries and vistas wherever you go and great opportunities in terms of photogra

Vatnsnes peninsula in North Iceland

Vatnsnes is a peninsula in the north west part of Iceland, is a place of great natural beauty. Vatnsnes is jutting into Húnaflói in northern Iceland. It is surrounded by waters of Miðfjörður fjord on the west and Húnafjörður on the east. It is home to one of the largest seal colonies in Iceland. The peninsula is also a very interesting place for photographers, with beautiful landscape, nature and wildlife. Here are some of the best attractions by Vatnsnes peninsula: Hamarsrétt is a sheep and horse pen close to the sea shore.

The beautiful midnight sun in Iceland

The sun sure knows how to put on a spectacle in Iceland! Last night the sunset/sunrise was incredibly beautiful. I went out to seeÂ a movie last night at 10pm.Â I went to see the Icelandic film HrÃºtar - or 'Rams' in English, a very Icelandic film about two old brothers that don't speak to each other and who love their sheep. The movie got an award at Cannes Film Festival recently - Un Certain Regard award - and I must say that I really enjoyed it! It's very funny and typically Icelandic, I think it's a very interesting film for foreigners to see!Â&nb

Aurora explosion

On the evening of 17th of March 2015 the most awesome northern lights show that I have ever witnessed took place. Shooting the aurora is a bit challenging but also very rewarding. On that cold night my friend and I drove just outside of my home town Grundarfjörður to shoot some aurora as the forecast was very promising to say the least. As we reached our first stop the northern lights were everywhere. It did not matter which direction we faced, the sky was filled with light in various colours. Green, red, purple, blue... It was so spectacular. This went on a

Off the beaten path

Among the things Iceland has to offer are glorious landscapes that will leave you in awe. The most popular places aren´t popular just because, they are popular for a reason and the reason is great accessibility and of course unbeatable beauty. But from the photographers point of view, photographing places crowded with people in broad harsh daylight is not always first choice. Iceland has to offer many gorgeous places off the beaten path but still easily accessible for the landscape photographer. Many gems are yet to be discovered, and when we find them we would also like to

Most visitors to Iceland will, at some point, take the Golden Circle, the most popular tourist route in the country. Images from its three destinations adorn postcards and websites, to the extent that many know what to expect from the tour before they even arrive. The iconic

The Milky Way in Iceland

Shooting the Milky Way in Iceland From September when the nights get dark you can look for the Milky Way galaxy and try to capture it with your camera. Photographing the milky way is a good option when the northern lights are not visual or very weak. You need to have a dark night, no moon, clear sky and good distance from all light pollution from farms, town or cities. Usually my setting on the camera are for 30sec, f/2.8 and the lens as wide as possible and the ISO from 6400 till 12800. This picture was shoot in September 2015 in Borgarfjordur with the old and graceful bridge ov

Essential gear for winter photography

The nights are getting darker and the inevitable is happening! Summer will soon start to fade and give into the the fall which happens to be one of my favorite seasons as a photographer. The coulours and mood it brings always bring a smile to my face. Soon there after winter will reign. As working photo guide I often get asked by photographers what gear to bring to maximize their chances for good photographs. While there might be some gear that gives you slight advantages over others it won’t make or break your trip. However I’m going to throw a list together of things that

The remote island Flatey

Have you ever visited some of the islands around Iceland? I recommend you do and there are several beautiful islands possible to visit. One of them is Flatey island, located in Breidafjordur bay on the northwestern part of Iceland. The island is about two kilometers long and one kilometer wide and is quite flat almost without any hills, so therefore the name 'Flatey', meaning "flat island". Flatey is the largest island among a cluster of about forty other small islands in the area. If you want to go to Flatey you need to take the f

Landmannalaugar Tour

A few years back my mother and I were a part of a Landmannalaugar sightseeing tour and it was - to say the least - amazing! Landmannalaugar is one place I can definitely recommend seeing if you're headed to Iceland and want to experience the amazing landscape and natural treasures our country has to offer. Here are a few facts about the area: The name comes from men from an area called Landmannasveit. They found the springs and story goes that they rested there while herding sheep. Not sure how accurate the story is but it makes sense doesn't it? It's a geothermal area, meani

Elliðaárdalur - A hidden gem in Reykjavík

In the middle of Reykjavík city there is a hidden nature gem called Elliðaárdalur valley, a peaceful recreation area that not many travellers know about or visit. If you are staying in Reykjavík and you have some extra time I totally recommend a visit to this oasis of the outskirt of the city. It's easy to reach from Reykjavík and you can even take the bus. You could even combine it with a trip to the historical museum Árbæjarsafn located not far away. I wrote about it before in Top 10 tips for photography in Reykjav&i

Volcanic eruption at Holuhraun

On august 29. volcanic eruption started at Holuhraun on the Icelandic highland between Askja and Bárðarbunga. As almost every photographer living in Iceland was dying to get to the scene the Civil protection in Iceland restricted all access to the area with the exception of scientist and media wich were allowed access at their own risk. As I was working for the newspaper Skessuhorn me and my fellow reporter planned a trip. We got permission on tuesday 2. september. We packed our gear and drove north with haste. We were at Mývatn around midnight and it

What is the weather like in Iceland ?

How is the weather in Iceland ? When is the best weather or when is the best time to visit ? These are questions I frequently get from travelers interested in Iceland. To be honest with you, living in Iceland is tricky and to answer these questions is almost impossible to be honest. Iceland is a land of ice and fire (literally) and the weather can change very rapidly. Our island is located just south of the Arctic circle and temperature is cool in the summer and almost mild in winter. If you don´t believe me this is what the Icelandic met of

They are the most sparsely populated area in Iceland (the population has drifted southward for various reasons, mostly economic - more on that later, perhaps) and also the area with the most imposing mountains and dramatic landscapes. Geologically they are also the oldest part of the countr

The Shelter of the Gods: The Legend Behind Ásbyrgi Canyon

Imagine you’re travelling in Iceland, a magical and unexplainable land at the best of times. You’ve heard some great stories of the natural beauty around so you head to one of the famous national parks. But just your luck, the day is absolutely awful for sight-seeing. Heavy fog coming off the glaciers sits like a funeral shroud on the landscape and you’re quite sure the black clouds rolling in from far away are bringing a storm. Visibility is down to whatever’s right in front of your face and your camera sits useless in your rucksack. Disappointed, you decide tha

给有想法移民到冰岛的读者一点小分享

搬来冰岛一年有余，虽然本身并没有需要同本地移民局打交道的必要，但或多或少从新闻、从朋友甚至从社交媒体有所耳闻。所以，趁着最近难得有空就来叨叨几句，既说

Meine liebsten Parks in Reykjavík

Reykjavík ist eine relativ kleine Hauptstadt und zählt gerade mal rund 123.000 Einwohner (na gut, ca. 217.000 im Ballungsraum). Das Stadtzentrum ist übersichtlich und große Fußgängerzonen sucht man hier vergeblich, dennoch zieht es mich immer wieder gerne zu den vielen Grünflächen der Stadt. Hier ist eine kleine Auflistung meiner Favoriten: 1. Elliðaárdalur Dieses Tal ist ganz furchtbar auszusprechen. Versucht es mal so: Etlida - aur - dalür. Es befindet sich in 109 Reykjavík, bei einer Kreuzung der Straß

自駕遊冰島：交通安全規則

自駕，無疑是在冰島旅遊最好的方式。由於冰島公共交通不發達，雖然有一些從Bifreiðastöð Íslands(BSÍ) 出發的長途巴士或者是公共交通巴士Straeto都會去冰島的主要城市，但是作為旅行交通工具來說，這些巴士並不適合。因為他們到達的地方都是冰島的城鎮為主，不會直接停在景點，所以如果大家坐這些巴士的話，還會需要步行去景點，不單止累，而且能到達的地方很有限，加上這些巴士每天出發的班次很有限，你很有可能需要等一整天才會搭到下一輛巴士，費時費力不討好，所以最主要的旅遊方式還是自駕或者是參加Local tour。在冰島自駕遊也是有很多技巧的，除了大家需要根據天氣、季節來決定《什麼季節應該租什麼車》還要考慮《什麼保險要買？怎麼租車能便宜？》而且也要《認識冰島交通標誌》。除了這些需要事先了解，為了確保自駕遊的大家可以有一個安全的冰島自駕之旅，這篇會跟大家說在冰島自駕時需要留意的交通安全守則，希望大家一定要好好遵守，才可以在冰島玩得開心又放心。 image credit@pinimg 相關閱讀《史上最詳盡冰島旅遊攻略：終極懶人包》《冰島自由行：一次大概要花多少錢？冰島本地人幫你做旅遊預算》《冰島至Hit旅遊景點大集合》冰島租車自駕遊冰島交通規則下面就來為大家介紹各項在冰島自駕遊必須遵守的基本交通規則

北アイスランド4日間のロードトリップ

アイスランドの夏休みといえば、海外旅行かロードトリップ。アイスランドには遊園地やテーマパークがないので、国内でのバケーションといえばロードトリップに行ったりキャンプに行ったり自然の中で過ごすのが定番です。今年は3泊4日のアークレイリやミーヴァトン湖観光に出かけてみました！日程 1日目　レイキャビクを出発→ブロンドゥオゥスで宿泊 2日目　ブロンドゥオゥスからアークレイリのサマーハウスへ 3日目　ミーヴァトン湖エリア観光 4日目　レイキャビクへ戻る前日ロードトリップには準備が欠かせません！洋服や身の回りの品だけでなく、今回はサマーハウスを利用するので食料も買い出しに行きました。今年できたコストコに行き、ピザやパンなどを購入。途中の町でも買い物はできますが、とりあえず食べ物があるというのは安心ですよね。そしていきなりですが反省点があります。ロードトリップといえば、ほぼ毎日違う場所に泊まるのですよね。でも、荷物の全てを1日で使うというわけではなく、今日必要なもの、今日はいらないもの、という具合になるわけです。この辺りを何も考えず、4日分のインナー、4日分のセーター、4日分の要冷蔵食品、4日分のお菓子、などとアイテム別に分けてしまったのですが、大きな間違いでした。いちいち、全てのものを車から取り出さないといけないことになり、大変でした。ロード

在冰島追極光：所有你需要知道的看極光、拍攝極光小技巧

「看到極光就會一輩子幸福」，這句話相信對於很多人來說都不會陌生，不知道是不是受到這句話的潛移默化影響，「追極光」確實成為了不少人一生中最想完成的夢想之一。對於冰島這個全島都在極光帶上的國家來說，也自然成為了很多人狩獵極光的理想目的地。《在冰島看極光，看到的是永恆》這篇裡面我曾經和大家分享過我在冰島看極光的經歷，而今天這篇就讓我從比較「專業」的角度出發，教教大家如何在冰島看極光（應該幾月份來冰島？有利看極光的基本條件？）、有哪些冰島本地實用的極光預測網站、怎麼看極光預報、本地極光團的種類／如何選擇、極光攝影小技巧，希望可以幫助準備來冰島看極光的朋友完成你們心中的那個「極光夢」。相關閱讀《冰島旅遊最全攻略：終極懶人包》《在冰島旅行應該怎麼穿？冰島四季、特色活動穿帶指南》冰島本地極光旅行團極光簡介由於我理科真的非常差，我就不在這裡獻醜給大家詳細講解極光產生的原理了，反正極光大概就是「帶電的高能粒子和高層大氣中的原子碰撞造成的發光現象」（這個定義明顯我是Google ）至於詳細的產生原理還請大家自己好好問問你們的理科老師吧！但是我知道的是極光只有在靠近兩極的地方才能看得到，所以其實是有大家常聽到的「北極光」和比較少人提起的「南極光」兩種極光存在的。由於接近南極的地方主要都是海洋，陸地比較少，最主要的陸地只有南極大陸，所以想要看到南極光比北極光更困難，有些

Fireball Meteor and Northern Lights Over Iceland!

Did you see the fireball meteor that shot across the sky last night in Iceland? Right at the same time as the Northern Lights were dancing across the sky? I didn't. I was relaxing at home last night in the centre of Reykjavík and at around 23:30 I glanced at my phone and saw that a friend had posted some images of gorgeous Northern Lights in the sky, and comments of various people saying they spotted a meteor in the sky. Now, I love the sky and stars and space and anything to do with nature, I once even entered a competition to be sent to space (I didn't win), so of course I w

遗世小岛Flatey－冰封的冰岛原始生活

如果问为什么要来冰岛旅行，每个人会有不同的答案，但是恐怕很多都会说，冰岛像世界尽头，美的不像人间。的确，冰岛的遥远造就了它的纯净，虽是世界发达国家，却是一个自然做绝对主导的世界。冰岛人的生活，与这里的自然环境完全交织。在冰岛生活了几年，每次出国旅行，过不了多久就会想念冰岛的简单，想念自来水管里清甜的冰川水、新鲜的空气、雷克雅未克家里窗外的山和海。平日，周末遇到好天气，会与朋友结伴出行，去徒步、泡温泉，去小镇散步。今年夏天8月，带着来冰岛玩的好朋友一起去斯奈山、西峡湾自驾，行程中加上了一直想去的Flatey－弗拉泰小岛。没想到如此习惯了生活在自然里，依然能在冰岛找到更为超现实、超时代的旅行团体验。就像好朋友说的，这里和格陵兰一样，是一个没有声音的世界。其实Flatey小岛并不是真的无分贝静音，只不过全部声音都来自住在岛上的鸟、羊。小岛不允许外界的车登岸，所以只有零星几辆拖拉机，和Hotel Flatey的一辆用来帮大家搬运行李物资的小车。实用信息 Flatey岛的地理位置 Flatey位于西峡湾之南、斯奈山半岛之北，形成于1100至1200万年前的一次火山爆发，是其所在的Breiðafjorður峡湾区最大的小岛，不过小岛最狭窄的地方，只有不过20米。整个岛上只有一条主路，不需要害怕迷路。交通－到达Flatey岛的方式到

野性冰島：冰島的瀑布們

冰島聚焦：西人島(韋斯特曼納群島), Westman Island (Vestmannaeyjar)

冰島除了本島以外其實還有很多散落在周圍的值得一遊的小島。韋斯特曼納群島，又稱西人島(Westman Island)，是在冰島本島南邊的一個群島，也是除了冰島本島之外最多人居住的小島。我個人來說是非常喜歡這個安逸、嫻靜的小島，非常適合用一天的時間在島上閒逛，吹吹海風，聽聽海浪聲，悠閒的過一天，而且夏季在這裡很容易就可以看到Puffin。今天這篇就讓我為大家介紹一下這個可愛的西人島，說一說我這個夏天在西人島上度過的週末的小冒險故事，也為大家介紹一下島上有什麼好玩的好去處，推薦給喜歡在冰島走小眾路線的朋友們。相關連結《冰島旅遊最詳盡懶人包》《冰島至Hit旅遊景點大集合》西人島旅行團西人島, Westman Island 西人島群島一共由10幾座島組成，但是只有Heimaey島還有人居住，長住人口大約有4000 人左右，Heimaey島也是西人群島裡面面積最大的，所以現在一般情況大家說的「西人島」(Westman Island)都是指最大的Heimaey島，而且搭乘渡輪從Landeyjahofn 到西人島的話，也都是在Heimaey島上登陸，如果想要遊覽其他周邊的小島的話，都需要報名參加西人島旅行團的游船團，由快艇帶著大家去其他小島探險。韋斯特曼納群島(西人島)第一次在國際打出名堂是因為在1973年的Eldfell 火山爆發，當時的火山爆發導致了不少建

The Lava Tunnel: The Extraordinary Raufarhólshellir Lava Cave in South Iceland

Raufarhólshellir lava cave - the Lava Tunnel - is one of the extraordinary lava caves in Iceland. It has just recently been made more accessible to visitors and reopened with guided tours in June 2017. It is such a delight visiting this 4th longest lava cave in Iceland. I had visited it on a couple of occasions before a footbridge and stairs were added to it, and am so glad that it is so accessible and easy to visit now. I once showed it to a girlfriend from London and she was all but traumatised after the visit, as s

Feminism in Iceland | The Poor, Poor Men

But should we? Iceland is the only country in the world that killed more men for witchcraft than it did women. Icelandic women are now the most enfranchised and powerful on earth. Coincidence? I think not. With a combination of sexuality, screaming and sorcery, Icelandic women have been fast gaining power, and now pose a legitimate threat to the time-honoured patriarchal system. In fact, multiple sources for years have cited Iceland as the world’s most gender-equal country, but with the rapid advancement of one side, the balance seems set to tip over. As someone who is extremely clear

The remote Strandir in the Westfjords of Iceland - Stillness & Sorcery

Join me on a day-tour of one of the remotest areas of Iceland - the scenic Strandir in the Westfjords of Iceland. In my previous travel blog I told you about the beautiful nature and hot pools by Hotel Laugarhóll, where I stayed for the night. And showed you the lesser known Goðafoss waterfall, which bears the same name as its famous namesake up north. Now let me show you what you can expect to see on the scenic drive to Strandir - this is not a complete guide though, just what I experienced on my day-trip to Strandir.

冰島自由行：一次大概要花多少錢？冰島本地人幫你做旅遊預算

冰島聚焦：龍蝦鎮,Hofn赫本鎮/霍芬鎮

Hofn, 赫本鎮（又名霍芬鎮）是從雷克雅維克逆時針自駕環島進入冰島東南邊的一個「大城鎮」，一般來說都會被歸納為冰島東部，所以基本上可以說是從冰島南部進入東部後第一個到達的地方，相反言之，如果你是順時針環島，經過Hofn 之後就表示你開始進入了冰島南部地區了。對於逆時針環島的大家來說，赫本也是在經過傑古沙龍冰河湖之後第一個物資補給站、加油站，是幫助你繼續環島旅程的好幫手。赫本鎮雖然不大，但是卻是冰島赫赫有名的龍蝦小鎮，因為這裡盛產龍蝦，在這裡也有很多以龍蝦為主題的餐廳。這篇就讓我來為大家好好介紹一下這個小巧又「好吃」的龍蝦鎮赫本到底怎麼去、那裡天氣氣候大概如何、環島路過這裡有什麼需要留意、赫本鎮內／附近有什麼玩、還有最重要的---吃龍蝦餐廳介紹，事不宜遲我們馬上開始：冰島東部Hofn 赫本攻略。相關連結《史上最詳盡冰島旅遊攻略：終極懶人包》《冰島至Hit旅遊景點大集合》冰島自駕遊 Höfn 赫本鎮----龍蝦鎮 Hofn最精確來說應該是位於冰島的東南部，算是冰島南部和東部的交界點，在Hornafjörður峽灣附近，但是一般來說很多人都會直接把它納入冰島東部的一部分。小鎮的總人口大約有2100人左右，是東部比較大的城市，在這裡可以看到很漂亮的瓦特納冰原(Vatnajökull)的景色。赫本鎮在20世紀的時候最初

ヨークルスアゥルロゥン氷河湖の空を彩る花火大会

夏と言えば夏祭り、花火大会を思い浮かびますね！アイスランドの一番美しい場所と言われるヨークルスアゥルロゥン氷河湖で花火大会が開催されること、皆さんご存知ですか？１年に１回、夏に楽しめます。 2017年8月12日、そのユニークな花火大会を見にヨークルスアゥルロゥン氷河湖に行ってきました。ヨークルスアゥルロゥン氷河湖まではレイキャビクから車で約5～6時間。レイキャビク市内から49号線を走り、リングロードと呼ばれる国道1号線にずっとアイスランド東部まで進みます。休憩時間はセルフォス、ヴィーク、キルキュバイヤルクロイストゥルの町で取れます。この日に氷河湖から車で約30分の場所にあるコテージを予約しました。14時にレイキャビクを出発して一度はコテージで荷物を降ろして休憩してから氷河湖に向かう予定でしたが・・・セルフォス辺で交通事故があったので大渋滞Σ(ﾟдﾟ)！最終的に直接ヨークルスアゥルロゥン氷河湖に行くことにして21:30頃に到着しました（泣）まず駐車場に到着する前は反射ベストを羽織ったレスキュー隊が歓迎します。レスキュー隊の方はPOS決済端末を持っていますので、クレジットカードを使い入場券を買うことができます。さすがアイスランドです。2017年は一人1000 ISKとなりますが、3人以上の子供を連れる家族は最大500

斯蒂基斯霍米尔(Stykkishólmur)小镇旅行攻略

斯奈山半岛上的斯蒂斯基霍尔米(Stykkishólmur)是很多人来冰岛的必去，这个小镇之所以名声大噪，还要多亏了前几年的电影《白日梦想家》。电影中遥远、宁静又带着点小怪异的格陵兰小镇，其实就是在冰岛斯奈山半岛的斯蒂斯基霍尔米(Stykkishólmur)取景拍摄。我分别在春(2015年5月初)、夏(2017年8月中)、冬(2016年2月中)三次来过这里，这篇就可大家分享一些这个小镇的旅行信息。地理位置斯蒂斯基霍尔米位于狭长的斯奈山半岛北岸，在半岛伸出的一个小小半岛上的北部顶端、Breidafjordur峡湾区。从首都雷克雅未克开过来，如果走斯奈山半岛上的山路，大约距离170公里。如果环半岛而行，路过如阿尔纳斯塔皮小镇(Arnarstapi)、草帽山(Kirkjufell)等著名景区的线路，则需要近300公里、大约4小时的车程。镇上景点小镇上没有什么大牌“景点”，应该说小镇本身就是一个景点，不少都希望体验《白日梦想家》里的旅途。除了多彩、古老的小房子、美丽的街道，镇上的一大地标是斯蒂斯基霍尔米教堂，造型清奇，非常有点后现代的味道。每次来斯蒂斯基霍尔米，我一定要去的，其实是港口边小岛上的小灯塔。它个头不大，但是有利的高地势，让这个小红灯塔在镇上特别显眼。从港口过去，有阶梯可登上小岛，走个几步就到了
