Record amount of snow in Reykjavik in february 2017 - photos and video
February 26 2017 - Most snow in #Reykjavik, 51 centimeters of snow dumped overnight. That would be about 2 feet, and as you can see it started with a little bit of snow, and then overnight - 2 feet all over the place. But we have good cars and we can drive through the snow, and some of the best companies driving with tourists in new and good cars are also cheap. Find cheap car rentals here.
Reynisfjara and the oldest swimming pool
My video and photos of the south tip of Iceland . On the south part of Iceland near the town of Vik , is Reynisfjara, a beautiful black sand beach . It was used as a movie location in the movie Noah , with Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins in 2012 . And nearby is the oldest Swimming pool in Iceland ,at Seljavallalaug . It was built in 1927 , and it is still used ,with hot water ,and it is free to use day and night . spectacular scenery all around as you can see on my video .
Northern Lights over Iceland on september 26 2016 video and photos
Now is the season of the Northern Lights over Iceland. Here are a few photos and time lapse video of the aurora Borealsi over Reykjavik last night ,September 26 2016. And the forecast is great , so we will probably have a good sky show , so long as the sky is clear, and no clouds .
Heatwave in Reykjavik and all over Iceland .
When the temperature goes over 15 on the celcius, then we call that a heatwave. Then many go to the beach in Reykjavik and have fun in the hot water pot and also in the North atlantic Ocean. The beach is in Nautholsvik at south end of Reykjavik airport. And of course free to enter and enjoy .

East part of #Iceland , national highway .
Here you can see the national highway in the east part of #Iceland. And as you can see the landscape there is spectacular. It is quite popular to go to and in summer time the weather is often more warm, then in and around Reykjavik. And the Glacier lagoon at Vatnajokull ( Vatna Glacier ) is beautiful nature scenery and is the biggest glacier in Europe. The lagoon is often used in popular movies and TV show.

Little bit of snow in December 2015 in Iceland
Here you can see how winter treats us here in Iceland. It can be very beautiful, but also you will have to drive carefully, as you can see on my video. Days are getting shorter, only a few hours of daylight. But in the evening, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and Aurora Borealis (northern lights) in the sky above.
