I feel so lucky to have been in so many parts of Iceland! I know now the hidden treasures and spots that are worth a detour, a visit or even a contemplation. I'm working in environment protection and I have always been attracted by this vast and unspoilt island and its many birds. I can give you tips for your trips to Iceland, and, of course, some small spots where you will be able to observe the local wildlife! Instagram: @icelandic.frenchies

Kerlingarfjöll, the land of ice and fire in the Highlands
Well, I must admit that when I think of Iceland, I think about ice, glaciers and also volcanoes, steam, geysers... Volcanic activity is what brings me the first time in Iceland, as I remembered the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull in 2010, that almost killed my holidays :) It's not called the land of ice and fire for nothing. I had the chance to have both ice and fire in a place called Kerlingarfjöll in the Highlands. It's so beautiful.. especially during a sunny day ;) Consultez ici l'article en français What's Kerlingarfjöll? Kerlingarfjöll is an amazing spot in the Highlands. Kerlinga

Glacier Hiking Experience, Tips You Need to Know
