Route day 1

From Seyðisfjörður to Ásbyrgi, 223 km

The Ferry trip from Denmark to Iceland was comfortable, 2 relaxing days.

We passed close by the Shetland Islands and made a short stop at the Faroe islands.

We arrived in the morning at Seydisfjordur and were lucky to leave the boat with the first vehicles. We drove to Egilsstadir to do some shopping. And as we are used to buying water bottles in southern Europe, we did so here. As we left the shop a local man told us “buying water in Iceland is like buying sunshine in Spain” This was the last water we bought. We took road 1 Direction West, and made a small detour driving the Möðrudalsleið. Back on the 1 we continued west and took the 864 to Dettifoss waterfall. 

Möðrudalsleið

The waterfall was impressive, we had a walk and took pictures and filmed.  We were informed that Iceland is fresh in summer, well we were prepared but 8° Celcius was still very cold.

À propos de l‘auteur

During summer 2016 and 2019 I visited Iceland with my wife Ditta. We traveled in our own 4x4 Toyota Hilux with camper unit. Filming above and under water is my passion, sea-life while diving, nature, travel, 4x4 driving with our Toyota Hilux with camper unit. Iceland made a very big impression and we are planning to spend more time on Iceland.In 2019 we guided a group of 8 Iceland prepared 4wd throu the Highlands tacking Froads and unmarked tracks. In 2016 I stared aerial filming with a drone, I filmed the beautiful region around my home in Holland. I started to make video clips in 2013. During time I have improved my filming and editing. I film a variety of issues underwater, on land and from the air. I try to use creative common music as much as possible.
