Selatangar Fishing Huts & the Katlahraun Lava Field on the Reykjanes Peninsula

In this travel blog series about the Reykjanes Peninsula, I have been showing you interesting places to visit in the vast lava fields in the peninsula's southern part. In my last travel blog, we visited the Krýsuvíkurberg cliff, Selalda ridge, and the country's coolest sheep turf and rock barn. Now, let's drive down the next gravel road from Suðurstrandarvegur and visit Selatangar, an old fishing station. Top photo: one of the fish drying sheds at Selatangar An information sign on site about Selatangar I am writing a series of travel blogs about the Reykjanes Peninsula to make sense o

Sænautasel Turf House in the Highland of Iceland

In my search for turf houses around Iceland, I visited the lovely little turf house Sænautasel, which is a rebuilt turf house on Jökuldalsheiði heath in the highland of Iceland. It is, in my opinion, a charming turf house, built from scratch from the remains of an earlier turf house. Top photo: at Sænautasel Sænautasel turf house Sænautasel dates back to 1843, and for 95-100 years, people lived in such a turf house until 1943, when the last people moved out. From 1841 until 1862, with an increasing population and demand for land to build on, sixteen turf houses were built on the hea

Krýsuvíkurberg, Rauðaskriða & Selalda on the Reykjanes Peninsula

In this travel blog, I want to show you the majestic Krýsuvíkurberg cliffs on the Reykjanes peninsula, an amazing ridge called Selalda, and the coolest turf sheep pen I have seen in Iceland. In other travel blogs in this series about the Reykjanes peninsula, I covered Húshólmi, west of Krýsuvíkurberg, the burial mounds of Krýsa and Herdís, and the two Eldborg craters on the other side of the Suðurstrandarvegur road.

A Wonderful Visit to the Laugarás Lagoon in South Iceland

I visited the newest addition to Iceland's ever-growing geothermal baths and lagoons, the wonderful Laugarás Lagoon in South Iceland, which opened in October 2025. I absolutely love this trend in Iceland; if you can call it a trend, we are seeing more and more geothermal lagoons popping up in wonderful places in Icelandic nature. Every time a new geothermal lagoon opens, I can't wait to visit it. And Laugarás Lagoon is definitely set in a beautiful location, along the banks of the milky-white Hvítá glacial river.

An Awesome 4-Hour Monster Truck Tour with Sleipnir on Langjökull Glacier

An Awesome 4-Hour Monster Truck Tour with Sleipnir on Langjökull Glacier

I joined a fantastic glacier tour in one of the world's largest monster trucks on Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull. It was a Summer Solstice tour operated by the family-run Sleipnir Tours, and we were eager to witness the midnight sun from the top of the glacier. This is a highly recommended tour if you want to have loads of fun and come back really refreshed and energized. Top photo: the fire-red Sleipnir monster truck The transfer bus drove us to the meeting point close to the glacier We drove to Gullfoss waterfall, Iceland's most famous one, from where a bus transferred u

Beautiful Artwork by the noted Sculptor Ragnar Kjartansson Senior

In this travel blog, I want to show you the excellent artwork by the noted sculptor Ragnar Kjartansson. You will find his artwork in many places around Iceland. Ragnar Kjartansson was born on the 17th of August at Staðastaður on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, where you will see one of his artworks. Ragnar was a sculptor and one of the pioneers of ceramics in Iceland, and the founder of Glit, Iceland's ceramic factory. He was one of the founders and an honorary member of Myndhöggvarafélag Reykjavíkur - the Sculptors' Association in Reykjavík, established in 1972. Top photo: an exhibition of Ragn

Vitaleiðin - Follow the Lighthouse Trail of the South Coast of Iceland

Vitaleiðin - Follow the Lighthouse Trail of the South Coast of Iceland

In this travel blog, we will go on a treasure hunt and check out Vitaleiðin - the South Coast Lighthouse Trail, which includes lighthouses on the South Coast and many other interesting stops. We will also pass through 3 lovely villages on the South Coast, Stokkseyri, Eyrarbakki, and Þorlákshöfn. There are only 3 lighthouses here on the South Coast Lighthouse Trail, as the south coast has very few harbours from Stokkseyri to Höfn in Hornafjörður, which is a long coastline with no harbours. The Westman Islands, on the other hand, have a good harbour. Top photo: The official Map of the South

The Folklore of Krýsa and Herdís & a Hike on Stóra-Eldborg & Litla-Eldborg

In this travel blog, I want to tell you about the burial mounds of Krýsa and Herdís, who are believed to have given their names to Krýsuvík and Herdísarvík on the Reykjanes peninsula. Icelandic folklore tells of these two quarreling women. I also want to show you the two Eldborg craters, Stóra-Eldborg and Litla-Eldborg, which are close by.

Húshólmi - a Hike to the Ancient Ruins in the middle of Ögmundarhraun Lava Field

Those of you who have read my travel blogs know that I look for Viking ruins and burial mounds all over Iceland. In this travel blog, I want to show you the ruins I found in the middle of a lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula: Húshólmi and Kirkjulágar. At Húshólmi, you will find the ruins of a church and longhouses. The Ögmundarhraun lava field surrounds these ruins, and we have no idea who lived there. Top photo: Walking amongst the ruins of an ancient longhouse and a church Ruins of a longhouse Specialists believe that the ruins at Húshólmi may date back to Iceland's early settle
