Snorkeling between continents - Silfra fissure
Snorkeling is probably not the first thing that pops into your mind when planning your trip to Iceland? Yet scuba diving and snorkeling in Iceland is becoming more and more popular among the world’s dive enthusiasts. The main reasons being unique sites and most often fantastic visibility. When travellers ask my, what I should do in Iceland I usually tell them this is a must-do thing! Snorkeling in Silfra Out of all the great dive sites in Iceland, Silfra fissure is without a doubt the most popular. One of the main reason is that this freshwater fissure is actually a crack between the Nor
Skaftafell - A Hiker's Paradise
As often as I’ve visited Skaftafell, I still get goose bumps when I see the mountains in a distance as you approach the national park. Skaftafell national park has been my favourite spot in Iceland for many years. However because of its location it hasn't gained as much popularity as other places in Iceland. The national park is located at the South East Coast of Iceland at the roots of Vatnajökull, the biggest glacier in Europe. It's difficult to describe the beauty of the area in words, but the scenery in Skaftafell is like no other; here you'll find stunning glaciers, black beaches and some
Snorkeling in a geothermal lake in Iceland - Kleifarvatn
Probably not many of you think of diving when it comes to visiting Iceland, a sub arctic island with no tropical fish or coral reefs. However you’ll be surprised by what the country has to offer for divers and snorklers. One of the best known site is probably Silfra, a fissure between the two continents (Eurasia and North America) filled with crystal clear glacial water. Silfra has become widely famed for its unrivalled clarity, offering one of the best fresh water dives in the world. As a result other natural diving pearls often go unnoticed. One of them is Kleifarvatn, a geothermal lake nes
Glacier hiking and Ice climbing in Iceland
When in Iceland one should not simply pass by the massive glaciers while driving the ring road, it’s a must to get up close and witness these magnificent ice giants at first hand. So escape the comfort zone and take a step on the ice…but be careful! Where to go? One of the most convenient and easiest glacial walks take you to Sólheimajökull, a beautiful outlet glacier from the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. Under the cap lies the Katla caldeira, one of Iceland’s biggest volcano that eventually will erupt again one day. We recently got the chance to visit the glacier by going on a Glacier hiking
Winter activities in Iceland
Iceland is famous for its winters, probably because people who are visiting Iceland imagine snow covered mountains and icy glaciers. Visiting Iceland during winter is a totally different experience than during the summer, usually with lower prices and less crowds. Personally I'm a big fan of the winter and I wanted to share with you some activities I enjoy doing over the colder months. Experience the northern lights The best thing about visiting Iceland during winter time is the chance of seeing the northern lights. To the locals, the northern lights are a part of their life, as they light
My Favorite Hiking Trails Around Reykjavík
My favourite hiking trails around Reykjavík As an Icelander I love to share with you hidden secrets from our remote island. During off days and weekends, there is nothing that I love more than spending my time outdoors. My top of the list activity is hiking; the options are endless and there is no better way to discover the land of ice and fire! You can hike up mountains, volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls or walk along the black beaches and moss-grown lava fields. There is nothing more refreshing than breathing in fresh Icelandic mountain air or relax in one of Iceland’s many natural hot sprin
Unique River Rafting Experience In Iceland With Viking Rafting
As a travel blogger, I’m usually focused on finding the most awe-inspiring sights, the most remote wonders of nature or the most unique experiences in the country I’m travelling in. This is getting ever more difficult during our times of modern globalisation. However, like many, I have the tendency to thread over every bit of land abroad, but neglecting what my own country has to offer. It sometimes seems as all my holidays start by finding a flight off this faraway island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Iceland is actually a paradise for the outdoorsy types, with endless activities (wh
