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

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

Michael

I am an English writer for Guide To Iceland, now living in Reykjavik. Having been raised in such far flung corners as Saudi Arabia and New Zealand, travel writing is extremely close to my heart; so too is a deep reverence for our alive, mystic, natural world. Now happily settled in Iceland, I feel privileged to share with you the fascinating culture of this isolated, northern country. Away from the desk, I have a penchant for blues music, Zazen, cheap wine and the city’s flea market. Feel free to drop me a message; I’m easily seduced by correspondence.

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！

生活在冰岛的文学艺术迷弟，希望把我眼中的冰岛最优秀之处介绍给中国朋友们。这里的雨水与雾气，这里的荒凉与热闹都无比独特，但或许也同世上其他地方别无二致。我在这个小岛上书写自己的故事，期望能将这种幽微传递出去，去引起更多的故事。欢迎向我咨询有关冰岛旅行的各种问题，很愿意与大家分享我自己的经验，更希望听到来自你们的故事。

I think of myself as a landscape photographer, because that´s what I enjoy the most. I love everything about photography, however capturing and composing shots of nature is my pure passion. 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. My biggest joy is to be ''out there'' in the wilderness. To look for paths that n

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.

Helena

Born and raised in Rvk city but I should know a thing or two about Iceland now since I helped with the founding of Guide to Iceland which has been awesome! 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 :)

Γεια σας, είμαι η Νέλλη, και όπως μάλλον έχετε καταλάβει, αγαπάω τα ταξίδια. Όλες τις σημαντικές αποφάσεις στη ζωή μου, τις πήρα με γνώμονα αυτή την αγάπη. Σπούδασα, έζησα, και εργάστηκα για πολλά χρόνια στο εξωτερικό. Η αιτία ήταν, ότι από μικρό παιδί λαχταρούσα να βρίσκομαι σε ξένους τόπους, για να γνωρίζω θαυμαστούς πολιτισμούς και ανθρώπους. Σε αυτό βέβαια, μάλλον συνέβαλε και η οικογένεια μου, γιατί σε καιρούς που ακόμα τα ταξίδια στο εξωτερικό, δεν ήταν κάτι εύκολο, εκείνοι πάντα βρίσκαν την ευκαιρία. Έτσι, ταξιδεύω από μικρή ηλικία, και απ’ότι αντιλαμβάνομαι, αυτό το πάθος, είναι μάλλον

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

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.

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

Discover the waterfall Gljúfrabúi The great thing about travelling around Iceland are all the different and unique spots and areas you can discover when driving around. 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

My farm Kirkjuból is located in the northwest corner of Iceland, namely in a region known as the Westfjords. There are two farmhouses on Kirkjuból, and my next door neighbours are my parents.

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 colo

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. Seltún Seltún in the Krísuvík area, very close to Kleifarva

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 move around very much. Besides all photographic gear it is also important to take with you a head light. That is importa

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 d

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. The size of the Vatnajokull National Park including Skaftafell is around 14.200 km2 making it Europe's second largest National Park after Yugyd Va in Russia. 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 see a movie last night at 10pm. I went to see the Icelandic film Hrútar - 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! It's shown every day at Háskólabíó cinema at 5

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

Þingvellir National Park - Where You Walk Between Two Continents

Why is it the only UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Icelandic mainland? How did it form? Why is it so popular? Read ahead for all you need to know about Þingvellir National Park. 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

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

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 Reykj

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

It's off to the West Fjords

Well as the Germans say, "tomorrow it is so far" - meaning it the time has come for Yours Truly to take off on a road trip to the wonderful West Fjords to drop off books and generally have a marvellous time. If you have not yet explored the West Fjords you are missing out on an incredible experience. 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.

冰島對於很多人來說依然是一個非常陌生的國度，除了透過電影、電視、照片等途徑知道冰島有很多美景、獨特的地貌景觀。但是你又對「真正的冰島」有多少了解呢？這篇將要為大家介紹十個有關冰島的小知識，讓你在知道冰島「美麗」之餘，對冰島有更多的了解。相關連結《冰島至Hit旅遊景點大集合》《史上最詳盡冰島旅遊攻略：終極懶人包》《冰島什麼季節最好玩？》一冰島是全世界第一個有女總統和公開出櫃總理的國家先來說來自冰島的世界第一位民選女總統---Vigdís Finnbogadóttir。她是冰島第四任總統，她的任期是1980至1996年間，總共16年。截止現在（2017年）為止，她仍然是世界歷史上任期最久的民選女總統。Finnbogadóttir 在沒做冰島總統之前曾擔任大學的法語和法語戲劇的老師，也在劇場工作過。她曾經在1963年經歷離婚，在離婚之後領養了一個女兒，也成為當時第一個被允許領養兒童的單身女性。在任期內她一直致力促進女童教育、環保活動和冰島語言文化，成為了當時很多冰島女生的榜樣。再來說說史上第一位出櫃的冰島總理--Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir，巧合的是她也是一位女性。Sigurðardóttir 於2009至2013年期間擔任冰島總理，任期

冰島聚焦：南部地熱溫泉小鎮Hveragerði--尋找野溫泉河Reykjadalur之路

我一直都很喜歡冰島南部這個離雷克雅維克不遠的地熱溫泉小鎮--Hveragerði，看到山間地熱的白煙緩緩升起是一件非常寫意的事情。本來就知道在Hveragerði 有一條在山間的野溫泉河--Reykjadalur，但是一直沒有勇氣去爬幾個小時來回去看看這條溫泉河。這次，在機緣巧合之下，我終於翻過了兩座山，看到了這條山野中的野溫泉河。今天這篇就讓我來和大家分享一下我的尋找野溫泉河之路，和在這個冰島南部的地熱溫泉小鎮有什麼玩的。如果是自駕遊冰島的朋友不妨考慮把這個優美的小眾小鎮納入遊覽的景點喔。相關閱讀《冰島至HIt 旅遊景點大集合》《史上最全冰島旅遊攻略：終極懶人包》《冰島自駕I一號環島公路沿途最佳景區》 Hveragerði溫泉小鎮內好去處一石頭、礦物博物館地址：Breidamoerk 1, Hveragerdi 810, Iceland 電話：+354 847 3460 如果大家從雷克雅未克出發自駕到Hveragerði 的話，在轉進去Hveragerði 市中心的時候在你的左手邊會看到N1 加油站，而這個石頭、礦物博物館就在這個N1 加油站裡面。你可以把車停到加油站內，然後走進去加油站的便利店，你將會見到博物館的入口在你左手邊。與其說這是一個博物館，倒不如說是一個擺滿了各式奇特、珍貴石頭和礦物的房間。館

A fantastic Tour of the Kjaran's Avenue and Dynjandi, the Jewels of the Westfjords

Join me on a hazardous journey on the most dangerous road in the Westfjords of Iceland and be rewarded with the most amazing nature. This road, which is called Kjaransbraut - the Kjaran's Avenue, also Svalvogar circle, is only open for a couple of months a year and Westfjords Adventures offers guided tours on this one-lane jeep track. Ever since I first saw photos from this hazardous road and the ruggedly beautiful surroundings I have wanted to experience this drive myself. What makes this road even more challenging to drive on is that it

A lovely Stay at Hotel Breiðavík in the Vicinity of Puffins galore at Látrabjarg in the Westfjords

On a lovely summer day in July I visited the largest sea-bird cliff in Europe, Látrabjarg in the Westfjords of Iceland, which is the best place to photograph a puffin in Iceland. This cute bird has almost become the icon of Iceland as it is ever so photogenic. To be able to enjoy my visit to the fullest I stayed overnight in the vicinity - at Hotel Breiðavík, the westernmost hotel in Europe, which is only 12 km away from Látrabjarg cliff. Breiðavík bay is located between Látravík and Kollavík bay, and the golden bea

Ausflug nach Landmannalaugar

Landmannalaugar gilt für viele als DER Ort im Hochland, den man unbedingt besucht haben sollte. Da ich bisher recht wenig im Hochland unterwegs war, schien mir das beliebte Ziel für diverse Tagestouren und Ausflüge auch ideal geeignet, um mir einen Eindruck der isländischen Wildnis zu verschaffen. Ich erkundete das Gebiet Anfang September und hatte Glück mit dem Wetter, die meisten organisierten Ausflüge werden auch nur bis in den Herbst (September, Oktober) angeboten. Ich habe zwar keinen Vergleich aber mir wurde gesagt, dass das Gebiet in den Sommermonaten von

冰島旅行團體驗：斯奈山半島小巴探險一日遊

最近參加了一個斯奈山半島小巴探險一日遊，雖然不是第一次去西部，但是這次的體驗和之前那一次完全不一樣，又再一次體驗了一次「冰島縮影」的魅力。除了遊遍了斯奈山半島的美景，這次旅程還找到了《地心遊記》--通往地球中心的入口的火山，還爬進了山的裂縫，看到了冰島的「一線天」。這篇文章我就來和大家分享一下我參加的這個冰島西部團的行程、體驗感受，重點帶大家看看冰島西部KOL---Kirkjufell（教會山／教堂山／草帽山），分享一下這次旅程拍的照片、為準備到斯奈山半島旅遊的大家一點應該穿什麼、注意什麼的小Tips，給所有想參加斯奈山旅行團的朋友一個參考。行程開始這次我們預定的是總共12 小時的斯奈山半島小巴探險一日遊，這趟旅程的團友一共加上我只有10人，導遊是性格很可愛的冰島女生--Eyja，這次旅行的司機也是她，所以我們這團一共加上導遊也只有11人，一般來說冰島的小型小巴團也差不多是這個Size。我是8點鐘約好了在雷克雅未克長途汽車總站BSI 上車，大家在報團的時候可以根據你們住的酒店要求旅遊巴到酒店門口Pick Up，非常方便。如果你是和我一樣預定了在BSI接送，小巴旅行團集合地點都是在BSI 車站門口，不需要進去有大型旅遊巴停泊的停車場。Eyja 非常準時地到達了BSI ，然後再兜去了雷克雅未克市裡不同預定地點接其他團友，正式出發的時間是早上8:30 左右。在開始旅程

在转角遇见最美味的炸鱼薯条

说到北欧的鱼类，大家往往第一个想到的是三文鱼，却忽略了银鳕鱼。没错！三文鱼的omega-3确实比银鳕鱼多，但它的脂肪含量也是鱼类中的冠军。而且三文鱼吃多了会感觉很腻，我个人非常中意银鳕鱼，不管是香葱蒸着吃，黄油煎着吃，还是橄榄油烤着吃都非常棒。你可能会觉得奇怪，炸鱼薯条不是英国特产吗？谁会想在冰岛吃？但你万万没有想到，冰岛的炸鱼薯条比英国的好吃一千万倍，不管是用料还是烹饪方式都比英国的好吃。在雷克雅未克吃炸鱼薯条的店不少，有些是路边摊有些是正儿八经的餐厅，我现在推荐的一家靠近港湾，与火山岩博物馆在一个位置，吃完了炸鱼还能逛逛火山岩博物馆，一举两得。 Icelandic Fish And Chips 店中三种鱼品可供选择做炸鱼的原料，黑线鳕(Haddock 也就是英国最常见的做炸鱼的鱼类)，魣鳕(Ling)或者鳕鱼(Cod)。我强烈推荐鳕鱼，因为它的肉质最鲜美。与炸鱼搭配的薯条也不是不健康的法式薯条，而是在烤箱内用迷迭香腌制过的冰岛小土豆，烤到皮脆肉粉，与炸鱼是绝配。店内还有一个特色就是蘸料，有十种可供选择。如果你只是想品尝一下炸鱼的味道，我推荐两个人点一份炸鱼，再配两个色拉，最后以店内的手工巧克力配咖啡画上圆满的句号。这样一顿简易的午餐约合人名币400元左右。餐厅的环境非常不错，建议坐在靠窗的位置，可以看到码头。 Bon app&eac

毛遂自荐

大家好！我是樱子，因为各种机缘巧合，2012年第一次来冰岛游玩，从此爱上这个与众不群的国家，做了维京人的太太。我生性喜欢大自然，喜欢小动物，不喜欢熙熙攘攘的人群，喜欢独处的感觉，所以在某种程度上，冰岛的生活状态是我喜欢的。很多人奇怪，一个出生上海，在巴黎留学，喜欢走在潮流顶端的女孩子怎么就跑到了世界的尽头？我想答案是爱的力量。谁不喜欢珠光宝气，谁不喜欢功名成就？但是那些都是虚无的，幸福是向内的，必须做到内心的安静和平和，才能真正的快乐。我的先生是天生的乐天派，喜欢出游和结交新朋友。我在他的影响下，也走遍了冰岛的山山水水，虽然没有远足，潜水等极限运动的经验，但对于餐厅，酒店，温泉等可以说了如指掌。一个偶然的机会来到这里，希望可以把我旅游，生活的经验在这里分享给有缘的人。不管你是来冰岛旅游，探亲还是生活，都可以给我信息，交个朋友。平安喜乐樱子

La randonnée sur glacier en Islande

Cela fait un moment que je souhaitais tenter la randonnée sur glacier. Après plus d’un an sur la Terre de glace et de feu, j’ai enfin testé cette activité d’aventure en Islande. Cette activité m’attirait pour deux raisons : Ce n’est pas tous les jours que l’on randonne sur un glacier sans que ce soit des niveaux de randonneurs aguerris Les paysages sont magnifiques (voir ci-dessous). Des films ont même choisi d’en faire leur lieu de tournage : c’est le cas d’Interstellar ou des sc&egr

Kjarvalstaðir - Art Museum of Iceland's Painter

Jóhannes Kjarval lived from 1885 - 1972 and is Iceland's bestloved painter. A museum for him stands in Reykjavik, easily accessible by bus such as bus 13 (and perhaps other buses too) which has a stop exactly at Kjarvalstaðir. Here are some of the paintings that I enjoyed. Kjarval's theme is nature, particularly the nature of Iceland as he traveled around his homeland for his paintings. He wanted to share his vision of nature through his works. I would say that his works have an element of fantasy. The last painting i

40 rzeczy, które możesz zrobić będąc na Islandii

Właściwie w trakcie pisania tego tekstu dotarło do mnie, że to nieskończony proces, który mógłby trwać po kres, a i tak ciężko byłoby złapać wszystkie możliwości jakie oferuje wyspa. Wycieczki na Islandię to jedno, niezwykle kreatywny naród to drugie, kolejne miejsca oddaję naturze i tym wszystkim islandzkim “dziwactwom”, które szczerze uwielbiam. Mam też wrażenie, że to między innymi one tworzą klimat wyspy, na którą chciałby dotrzeć spory procent ludzi na świecie. Nie traktuj więc tego wpisu jako ostateczność, a jedynie przedsmak islandzkich m

冰島旅行為什麼那麼貴？港台出發大型旅行團、冰島當地小型團優劣大比拼

對於冰島是一個相對貴的旅遊地點這一點應該很多人都知道，冰島的住宿、機票更是會因為旅遊的淡、旺季而有明顯的價格波動。但是冰島本地旅行團費卻全年365 天都是沒有太大改變地「貴」，有時候甚至回比你直接從香港、台灣參加冰島旅行團價格更高。這是為什麼呢？有什麼因素會導致這個情況呢？而且，在冰島自由行付比較高的團費是不是真的不值得呢？大型旅行團和冰島本地團各自的利弊又在哪裡？今天這篇就來和大家探討一下這些問題。為什麼自由行冰島報本地團的費用，會比在原居地參加全包旅行團貴呢？先和大家客觀地看一看有是什麼因素導致了冰島本地旅遊團的團費比較貴的原因。一冰島是島國成本高「冰島旅遊」這件事本身就不是一個便宜的事情。由於冰島是一個暫時還沒有航班可以直達的遙遠國度，所以首先在航空方面已經是一大筆開銷。相比你參加全包旅行團團費已經包括機票價錢和旅行社可以和航空公司有協議，自由行在訂機票這方面還是會比較吃虧。當然，「路係人行出離嘅」（路是人走出來的），怎樣買到最便宜的冰島機票？這個問題還是有解的，想知道買冰島機票的「小撇步」（小Tips）就閱讀這篇文章吧。其次是冰島的住宿費貴。《在冰島旅行，住宿費真的那麼貴？》這篇裡面我也和大家研究了一下冰島住宿費高的這個問題，在這裡就不重新再說一次了。所以相比全包旅行團，自己訂住宿如果只論酒店住宿的話，由於不像旅行團一樣可以直接和酒店Deal，所

Whale Watching and Sea Angling from Reykjavík Harbour with Reykjavík Sailors - a truly fun Experience

Whale watching is a popular pastime in Iceland and seeing that Iceland is an island we don't have to go far to see the whales. I recently joined a tour by Reykjavík Sailors leaving from Reykjavík harbour. I have lived in Reykjavík my whole life and this is the first time I go whale watching from Reykjavík harbour. I have gone whale watching on my travels around my country, but I did not have to go that far as there are awesome whale sightings in my backyard, so to speak. When I was little only on a couple of

Puffins in Iceland

Puffins in Iceland The Atlantic Puffin is both captivating and peculiar. There are many reason why locals, artists and tourists alike are seduced by these brightly colored seabirds. They are calm while nesting and can dig burrows with their beaks and wings..but seem manic in their flying style because of their small wings. Puffin wings can beat up to 440 times per minute. Their curious behaviors and unique appearance are a couple of the reasons we are drawn to Iceland to catch a glimpse. The Atlantic puffin travels to land in the summer to nest during the warmer months. We

Day 14 and 15 of 3 week Iceland trip

Day14 of 3 week Iceland trip Follow my wife and me on a 3-week trip of Iceland. Day 14 in Iceland From Landmannalaugar to Skaftfell (191km) Today the weather was much better again. We took the F208 and then F233 because we wanted more river crossings. At one of the crossings we came to a wide river with a strong current. We were lucky 3 Icelandic 4x4 had just crossed and could tell us were to drive. It was an exiting crossing with big rocks and our camper was rocked to both sides, some rocks hit the bottom, and we made is safe to the other side. From now on the road was easy,

5 Reasons to Hate Summer in Iceland

June has come and gone, so Iceland is officially in what it’s idea of summer is. After a long and brutal winter, in which my Vitamin D reached the levels of what my doctor described as ‘like a very sickly child’, you think I’d be happy. Then again, you don’t know me. The only thing in the world worse than an Icelandic winter is an Icelandic summer. Yes, we can say goodbye to 20 hours of darkness a day, to the endless storms, and the general sense of all-pervading misery, but what are we exchanging them for? Is it even worth it?

這個像北歐，又不太像北歐的冰島

冰島，總會被歸納為「北歐五國」的其中一國，但其實冰島人卻不覺得他們是北歐人。作為一個「與世隔絕」的島國，冰島確實又是擁有著有別於其他北歐四國的特點。作為一個北歐國家愛好者，今天我就來和大家輕鬆的聊一聊從我個人的角度，在我的眼中看來，冰島和北歐其他國家有什麼區別，又有什麼相似之處。或許會讓一些對冰島或者北歐國家不太了解的朋友起到一點點啟發性的作用也說不定吧？冰島在什麼地方像北歐呢？一戶外活動相似對於北歐最最膚淺但是又最最很真實的第一個理解就是：可以看極光。還記得三年期我第一次踏足北歐的原因就是為了去看極光，多麼膚淺但是又那麼真實的原因，所以對於我的初印象來說北歐就等於極光。而相信北歐人都深深明白大家去北歐很大一部分的原因就是為了看極光而去的，所以北歐四國和冰島都不約而同地為世界各地的遊客準備了各種各樣的看極光Tour，去Lapland 住帳篷、坐麋鹿車、坐雪橇犬車、追尋極光團等等，各式各樣讓大家多角度、多方面去狩獵極光的方法。而確實，在北歐看到極光的機會是比世界其他地方的機率較高。冰島看極光與北歐看極光的小不同雖說冰島和其他北歐國家一樣都是看極光的好去處，但是依然還是稍有區別，最主要的分別在於方便程度。由於北歐其他國家國土面積比較大，如果要看極光的話一定要專門去靠北邊的城市才能看到，正如挪威的Tromso、svalbard；芬蘭的Kakslauttanen、r

感動いっぱいの体験！溶岩洞窟探検と氷河ハイキング

2017年5月25日、溶岩洞窟と氷河ハイキング・アイスクライミングを体験しました！実は社内旅行で南海岸の写真スポット巡り｜氷河ハイキング、溶岩洞窟探検付きツアーの一部に参加させていただきました。訪れるのはアルトナルケル(Arnarker)という溶岩洞窟とソゥルヘイマヨークトル(Sólheimajökull)氷河です。１．Arnarker洞でのケイビング体験アルトナルケル洞はレイキャビクから車で43分ほどの場所にあります。ストランダルキルキャ(Strandarkirkja)方面に、国道1号線と39号線を走り、380号線に右折し10分ほど車を進めます。ツアーに参加しなくても、洞窟の中に入ることができますが中に迷子になる可能性があります。安全性を優先して、ガイドと一緒に楽しく探検しましょう。 5台ぐらい車が駐車できるスペースがあり、洞窟までは15分ほど野原を歩きます。黄色い棒が指しているのでわかりやすいです。この看板によると、Leitahraunという洞窟コンプレックスの一部であるArnarkerは510mほど長さがあります。Leitahraunの洞窟コンプレックス自体は約5000年前の火山活動でできたらしいです。安全のため、洞窟を探検するにはヘッドライト、ヘルメット、丈夫なハイキングシューズ、手袋が欠かせないというこ
