The 20th Anniversary of the Act Alone Festival in Suðureyri in the Westfjords

The 20th Anniversary of the Act Alone Festival in Suðureyri in the Westfjords

Every town and village in Iceland celebrates its local festival, and in the remote Suðureyri village in the Westfjords of Iceland, a popular annual festival is held. The festival in Suðureyri is called Act Alone and is a Solo Performance festival, dedicated to the art of acting alone. Act Alone is the oldest theatre festival in Iceland and the only theatre festival that is held annually. I was invited to attend the 20th Anniversary of Act Alone, and had a great time. Don't miss this festival if you are visiting the Westfjords of Iceland on the second weekend of August. Top photo: with the

Kómedíuleikhúsið in Haukadalur - the smallest professional Theatre in Iceland

Did you know that in Haukadalur valley in Dýrafjörður fjord in the Westfjords, you will find the smallest professional theatre in Iceland, called Kómedíuleikhúsið - the Comedy Theatre? I got to know this lovely little theatre better when my husband was booked to perform a magic and hypnosis show at Kómedíuleikhúsið. Top photo: the lovely little Kómedíuleikhúsið theatre on a sunny day The theatre is located by the sea in beautiful surroundings in Dýrafjörður fjord On arrival, I found out that Kómedíuleikhúsið is one of the houses that is much bigger on the inside than it appears to be on th

The Spectacular Reiðskörð on Barðaströnd in the Westfjords of Iceland

The Spectacular Reiðskörð on Barðaströnd in the Westfjords of Iceland

In my travel blogs over the years, I have shown you many beautiful locations in the Westfjords of Iceland. In this travel blog, I want to show you a beautiful, lesser-known location, the amazing Reiðskörð volcanic dyke on Barðaströnd. Reiðskörð basalt dyke (berggangur in Icelandic) is an extraordinary place to visit on a beautiful day, but take into account that it is also a place of execution, and it is said to be haunted. Top photo: Reiðskörð dyke I took this video of Reiðskörð from above while waiting for the tide to go out You can find Reiðskörð by Barðastrandarvegur road 62 in the W

Dvergasteinn - the Rock of the Dwarfs in Álftafjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland

Dvergasteinn - the Rock of the Dwarfs in Álftafjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland

Icelandic folklore is filled with stories about the hidden people of Iceland, and many of them tell us about the elves and the trolls of Iceland. I have shown you many of the places where these stories took place, and shown you quite a few rocks that are habitations of the elves, even one in Reykjavík close to my home. There is some mention in our folklore of rocks where dwarves reside, not many, though. The best-known dwarf story tells us about the dwarf rock in Seyðisfjörður in the Eastfjords. Now let's visit one such place in the Westfjords of Iceland. Dvergasteinn farm and Dvergastein

Ancient Viking Burial Mounds and Pagan Graves that I have visited on my Travels in Iceland

Ancient Viking Burial Mounds and Pagan Graves that I have visited on my Travels in Iceland

Archaeologists have discovered several ancient Viking burial mounds and pagan graves in my country, Iceland, some by chance during road construction. In this travel blog, I want to show you the burial mounds and pagan graves I have visited in my country. We distinguish pagan graves from Christian graves by the presence of grave goods (haugfé), animals (a horse or a dog), and, sometimes, boats. This changed with the conversion to Christianity.

The infamous Katla Volcano in South Iceland is named after a Sorceress

The infamous Katla Volcano in South Iceland is named after a Sorceress

In a previous travel blog, I told you about the infamous Katla volcano in the Kötlujökull glacier and the ice caves that form in the glacier. Some of our volcanoes have female names - maybe because they are dangerous when they erupt ;) We fear the volcano Katla the most; its eruptions are cataclysmic. But, do you know how it got its name? Icelandic folklore tells us about the cook, murderer, and sorceress Katla. Top photo: Kötlujökull glacier Mýrdalsjökull glacier This infamous volcano, Katla, which we Icelanders fear so much, is lurking beneath the 590 sq km ice cap of Kötlujöku

Skáli Hallvarðs Súganda - Viking Settlement-Age Farm in the Westfjords of Iceland

As those of you who read my travel blogs know, I love writing about the Vikings, archaeological sights, turf houses, and folklore in Iceland. I hit the jackpot when I was invited to attend the opening of Skáli Hallvarðs súganda - a replica of a Viking settlement-age farm, built to honor the legacy of Hallvarður súgandi, the settler of Súgandafjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland. Top photo: a group of Vikings all dressed up for the opening ceremony of Skáli Hallvarðs súganda The making of Skáli Hallvarðs súganda settlement-age farm Did Hallvarður súgandi live in this location at Botn, and

The Concert Hall of the Elves of Iceland

The Concert Hall of the Elves of Iceland

Over the years, I have shown you many locations in Iceland where the elves and hidden people live. We share Iceland with them and respect and cherish them. Some people see them or can hear them, but most of us don't. But we still acknowledge their existence, as our folklore is filled with stories about Iceland's hidden population. And our grandparents told us stories about them. In this travel blog, I am going to show you one such beautiful location, but, out of respect for the elves' wishes, I have had to change my travel blog and cannot reveal its location.

A Winter Visit to Akureyri - the Capital of North Iceland

A Winter Visit to Akureyri - the Capital of North Iceland

This is my 300th travel blog on Guide to Iceland, and I wanted to dedicate it to something special. I have been writing for more than 10 years now, and was pondering what to write about. In the meantime, I decided to join my husband on a work trip to Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland. It was mid-March, and I don't usually travel in the wintertime; I use the winter months for reading and writing. But I don't regret accompanying him, as during our 5 days up north, I felt like I had entered a fairytale world - Winter Wonderland. And now I was in no doubt of what I wanted to write about :)
