The Extraordinary Ice Sculptures in Lofthellir Cave in Mývatn North Iceland

While staying for a week in the Mývatn area in North Iceland I got the opportunity to visit Lofthellir cave, the extraordinary lava cave, where one can see the largest natural ice sculptures in any known lava cave in Iceland.  We were staying at Mývatn so we met up with the guide at the Mývatnsstofa Visitor centre. Top photo: Amazing ice sculptures in Lofthellir cave Lava fields on the way to Lofthellir Lofthellir cave is located in the Búrfell lava field. On our way to the cave, we passed the distinctive -Mt. Hverfjall, a sandy explosion crater. Walking on its rim makes for a very po

A Journey into the Wilderness of Iceland via Kjölur incl. Hveravellir and Mt. Kerlingarfjöll

I joined the most wonderful tour called Kjölur Coast to Coast Highland Route. This tour takes you from Reykjavík, the capital city in the south, through the middle of Iceland and way up to Akureyri, the capital of the north - with a myriad of interesting and beautiful sights on the way. Unfortunately, this tour has been cancelled now. But you can rent a car in Reykjavík and follow the stops on this tour :) Top photo: soaking in a hot pool at Hveravellir We started the tour in a bakery in Reykjavík I was picked up at 6:30 am as we had a long day ahead of us. This was to be a slow-trav

Eyjafjallajökull Volcano and the South Coast of Iceland in a Luxurious Super Jeep

I sometimes join guided tours in Iceland to show you what they are like, and recently joined one tour to Eyjafjallajökull & South Coast by Activity Iceland. A month earlier I had joined the same company on a guided tour of the Silver Circle and fell in love with their super jeep and so wanted to try it out again! This jeep is a huge modified Ford 350 EXXL Excursion extra long with 46 inches tires.  Top photo: driving in a super jeep on a black sand beach The super jeep of Activity Iceland Tom Cruise, Ben Stiller, Sean Penn, and Dennis Quaid have all been driven around in this super j

The Colorful Lava Formations in Víðgelmir Cave in West Iceland

I got the chance to visit one of the amazingly colourful lava cave tubes in Iceland recently when I entered Víðgelmir lava cave, which is considered to be one of the most magnificent lava caves in Iceland. I joined a tour which started in Reykjavík with pick-up starting at 7:00 am. On our way to Víðgelmir lava cave, we passed some beautiful sights and made several stops on the way.  Top photo: Lava formations and colours in Víðgelmir lava cave  Surrounded by lupine by Sjávarfoss in Fossá river We drove through the pretty and tranquil Hvalfjörður bay and our first stop was at a small w

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 visited it again 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.  Top photo: inside the Ice Cave Tunnel in Langjökull Glacier in Iceland - Into the Gl

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 maybe 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 millennium of 1000 in the Rangárþing region. It tells the story of the friends, Gunnar at Hlíðarendi and Njáll of Bergþórshvoll.  Top photo: the information

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 that we 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 inches tires. I felt pampered in this awesome jeep, in

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

I stayed at the beautiful Hotel Laki at Efri-Vík recently, when I went to explore an area of Iceland called Landbrot.  I had heard about interesting sights in this area in a TV program back in 2013 and I so wanted to explore this part of South Iceland. To reach this area and Hotel Laki one has to get off ring-road 1 just before entering Kirkjubæjarklaustur village, which is a popular stop in 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 Ho
