Langjökull Ice Cave Tunnel and the Beautiful Whale Fjord in West Iceland

Langjökull Ice Cave Tunnel and the Beautiful Whale Fjord in West Iceland

Do you fancy a visit to the largest commercial man-made ice cave tunnel in the world in Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull? The cave opened on June 1st, 2015, and I first visited it on June 11th, 2015. I revisited it with the tour company, Bustravel Iceland. This is quite an exceptional experience - to walk hundreds of metres inside a glacier! The pick-up for my tour started at 7:00 am, and on our way to the ice cave tunnel, we passed some beautiful sights and made several stops on the way.

The beautiful Fljótshlíð in South Iceland - Gluggafoss and Gunnar at Hlíðarendi

I want to show you a beautiful area in South Iceland called Fljótshlíð. It is a Viking area and the scene of the Saga of Njáll, which is sometimes referred to as the Queen of the Icelandic Sagas. You will notice a sign as you enter Fljótshlíð, on which is written "Á Njáluslóðum" - meaning that you are now entering the region of the Saga of Njáll. The Saga of Njáll is one of the best-known of the Sagas. It took place around the year 1000 in the Rangárþing region. It tells the story of the friends, Gunnar at Hlíðarendi and Njáll of Bergþórshvoll. Top photo: the information sign at Hlíðar

The Colourful Vatnshellir Lava Cave on Snæfellsnes in West Iceland & its Beautiful Lava Formations

I have written many travel blogs about the magical Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland with its myriad of beautiful sights. Now I can add one more magical place to visit on the peninsula - the extraordinary subterranean lava world in Vatnshellir cave. I had been meaning to visit this cave for years, as I had seen that it was easily accessible with guidance. I finally managed to climb down the winding staircase into this cave - what extraordinary colours there are to be found inside the earth!

The beautiful Silver Circle of Iceland in a modified Super Jeep

The most popular tour in Iceland is the Golden Circle tour, but did you know we also have another tour called the Silver Circle tour? I joined this tour with Activity Iceland in a huge modified super jeep - the most luxurious super jeep in which I have ever been driven. Tom Cruise, Ben Stiller, Sean Penn, and Dennis Quaid have all been driven around in this super jeep while they were filming in Iceland. They had been sitting precisely in my seat on this tour. This super Jeep is a modified Ford 350 EXXL Excursion, extra long with 46-inch tires. I felt pampered in this awesome jeep, with a

Hotel Laki at Efri-Vík and its Amazing Surroundings in South Iceland

I stayed at the beautiful Hotel Laki in Efri-Vík recently while exploring an area of Iceland called Landbrot. I had heard about interesting sights in this area on a TV program back in 2013, and I so wanted to explore this part of South Iceland. To reach this area and Hotel Laki, we must get off Ring Road 1 just before entering Kirkjubæjarklaustur village, a popular stop with beautiful surroundings. After driving for 5 km, this big hotel appeared. This was my first time in this area, and I was amazed to see such a big and modern hotel here. Hotel Laki Efri-Vík farm Hotel Laki is

The Beautiful Elf City and Elf Church by Hotel Laki in South-Iceland

I recently went to explore an area of South Iceland called Landbrot. I had watched a TV program about this area and learned about the 11th-century wall, an Elf City and an Elf Church, a bunker where you could see ash layers from centuries ago, and many other interesting things. Top photo: The elf city The Elf City at Efri-Vík Those of you who read my travel blog know that I search for elf spots and elf stories all around Iceland - so visiting the land of Efri-Vík, on which the family-run Hotel Laki is located, was an unexpected treat for me. We stayed at the hotel for one night. We

The Mysterious Snæfellsnes National Park Day Tour - West Iceland

Snæfellsnes peninsula is one of my favourite locations here in Iceland; it is absolutely magical, with so many interesting and beautiful sights. You will see stretches of lava fields, amazing gorges, and waterfalls, lovely hamlets, basalt columns in abundance, mineral springs, and volcanoes - to name a few of the fantastic sights on the Snæfellsnes peninsula! I have written a 5-part series of travel blogs about the Snæfellsnes peninsula, but as many people have been asking me about guided tours to this area, I decided to join a guided tour. I chose the Mysterious Snæfellsnes National Park

A very popular museum is to be found in Hólmavík village, on the east side of the Westfjords Region of Iceland, which is a must-visit while in this area. This museum is called the Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft or "Galdrasafnið" in Icelandic. Let's take a tour of this museum.

Hólmavík in the Westfjords Region of Iceland - the Sorcery Town!

Hólmavík is a lovely town on the east coast of the Westfjord Region of Iceland, and the largest town in an area called Strandir. In this area, Strandir, at Trékyllisvík, three men were burnt at the stake for sorcery in 1654. A witch craze followed, and this period in Iceland, from 1654-1690, is known as "Brennuöldin," or the Fire Century. Another 16 men and one woman were burnt at the stake, the last one in 1690. You can learn all about this at the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft in Hólmavík. Top photo: Hólmavík village The Huge Sea Turtle A giant sea turtle in Hólmaví
