The Mystical Nauthúsagil Ravine in South Iceland & its beautiful Waterfalls

There are some hidden places in Iceland, which are like out of this world. I visited one of them recently, the mystical Nauthúsagil ravine in South Iceland, which translates to English as Bull Shed Ravine. I know the name sounds strange, but I will explain how it came about a little further on in my travel blog. Top photo: a hidden waterfall in Nauthúsagil ravine The beginning of the hike into Nauthúsagil   Characteristic of Nauthúsagil is the rowan that grows on the rims of the ravine, and in some places it creates a see-through roof, which almost covers the ravine from above and ad

Extremely dangerous Waves by Reynisfjara and Kirkjufjara black Beaches in South-Iceland!

Yet another fatal accident took place on the 2nd of August 2025, on Reynisfjara beach in South Iceland, when a 9-year-old girl drowned after the sneaker waves grasped her on this dangerous beach :( The family seems to have been stuck in the cave, and the waves reached them. The last fatal accident before this one was on the 10th of June 2022, when a foreign traveller was swept out to sea by the sneaker waves on this notorious beach. His wife got caught in the same wave but got saved. Top photo: Kirkjufjara beach Reynisfjara beach After the girl's death, it was decided to activate the red

Bárður Snæfellsás - the Mythical Protector of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland

In my 5-part series of travel blogs about the Magical Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland, I often mentioned the half-troll-half-man Bárður Snæfellsás - the Protector of the Snæfellsnes peninsula.   Bárður was, according to Bárðar Saga Snæfellsáss, the settler of this area, half a troll, and half a man; his father was half a titan, but his mother was human. Top photo: a close-up of the statue of Bárður at Arnarstapi Bárður Snæfellsás at Arnarstapi Bárður came to Iceland in the 10th century and gave the peninsula its name, Snjófellsnes, but both words "snær" and "snjór" mean "snow" in I

The Magical Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland - Part V - Stykkishólmur & the Trip back to Reykjavík

This is the final part of my I-V part series of travel blogs, where I invite you on a tour with me of the magical Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland.  There is so much to see and do that one travel blog wasn't enough, and the whole trip around the Snæfellsnes peninsula ended up filling five travel blogs!  Plus, side blogs about interesting locations, which I wanted to tell you more about. I hope you enjoy travelling with me around this beautiful peninsula :) Top photo: By Snæfellsjökull   Stykkishólmur - the largest town on the Snæfellsnes peninsula Stykkishólmur town on Snæfellsnes

A Hilarious Comedy Show on the Icelandic Sagas in 75 Minutes at Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík

I love writing about my ancestors the Vikings, who settled in Iceland in 874 AD give or take a few years, and I often get this question: "Where can I see Viking stuff in Iceland?". So I was thrilled to hear of a Viking comedy show in English at our concert hall Harpa called the Icelandic Sagas - the Greatest Hits in 75 minutes. On their website they described the play as being "a comedy theatre roller coaster ride through all 40 of the epic Icelandic Sagas" and that is exactly what you will get :) Unfortunately, this show isn't running anymore, as I would have loved seeing it one more t

The Westman islands in Iceland - the Puffin and Volcano Tour - Local Guidance

While visiting the Westman Islands, I joined one of the tours of the islands to be able to tell you better what these interesting islands have to offer.  I contacted Eyjatours, a family-run company in the Westman Islands, as there is nothing like local knowledge and guidance. I opted for their most popular tour, the Puffin and Volcano Tour. Top photo: Einar with Tóti the Puffin The ferry Herjólfur sails to the Westman Islands The highlights of this tour are: Sprangan, Stórhöfði, the windiest place in Europe, Mt. Eldfell volcano, Herjólfsdalur valley,  and the friendly puffin Tóti at the

The Westman Islands - Sæheimar Museum and the Puffins - Closed with a new Home at Sea Life Trust

I have written several travel blogs on the volcanic Vestmannaeyjar - the Westman Islands, and now I want to tell you about a lovely museum, which, in my opinion, is a must-visit.  This museum is called Sæheimar Aquarium or the Aquarium and Museum of Natural History of Vestmannaeyjar - the first of its kind in Iceland, established back in 1964. Unfortunately, this lovely museum is now closed, and parts of it were moved to the Sea Life Trust Beluga Sanctuary.  Stuffed puffins behind glass. See the puffling in the middle :)   At Sæheimar, you will find three exhibitions: the bird exhibit

The Westman Islands - Eldfell volcano & Eldheimar - the Pompeii of the North in Iceland

A volcanic eruption in 1973 in the Westman Islands caused massive destruction and forced the islanders to flee to the mainland of Iceland. The volcanic eruption lasted for 5 months! I visited a new and unique museum in the Westman Islands called Eldheimar - the Pompeii of the North, where you can get to know all about the volcanic eruption in 1973 in the Westman Islands.   Top photo: Inside the Eldheimar museum Eldheimar museum The museum was built around one of the houses that was totally buried under the cinders from the volcanic eruption. Eldheimar has now become one of the Westman

Katla Volcano and Kötlutangi Spit - the Southernmost Point of the Mainland of Iceland

In my last travel blogs I told you about the historical Hjörleifshöfði promontory in South Iceland. Now I want to tell you about the dreaded volcano Katla in South Iceland, which Icelanders have been brought up to fear, as the Katla eruptions are amongst the biggest cataclysms in Iceland.  Top photo: Mýrdalsjökull glacier and Katla volcano The view from the top of the Hjörleifshöfði cape   North of Hjörleifshöfði, the infamous volcano Mt. Katla is lurking beneath the 590 sq km ice cap of Mýrdalsjökull glacier, waiting to spew out its molten lava and ash clouds.   South of Hjörleifshö
