Reykjanestá is located on the south-western tip of the Reykjanes Peninsula, close to Keflavík airport and the Blue lagoon. It’s fairly easy to find by following the signs. You have to drive through an area with a geothermal power plant, which as a bonus has some cool compositions if you want to photograph pipelines and steam. Furthermore there’s a few rather large hotspots, where you can see boiling mud and steam fiss out of the ground. On your way, you pass a lighthouse and you know you’ve arrived when there’s a gravel parking lot with a human-siz

Hello folks ! It´s Sunday morning in Reykjavik and due to a severe snowstorm plus having way too much homework I am basically locked inside. But that´s not what I want to talk about today because I have much more interesting things to tell: Yesterday I got drafted for an impromptu northern lights tour with guests from Britain. They were here on a four-day trip and this Saturday happened to be (due to the storm), their last chance to see the Lights.
