Gluggafoss Waterfall in South Iceland - the One with the Windows

Gluggafoss Waterfall in South Iceland - the One with the Windows

Gluggafoss waterfall - the Window Falls is a beautiful approximately 44-meters tall waterfall in Fljótshlíð in South Iceland, often overlooked by travellers. It is actually a series of waterfalls running in the small river Merkjá and together these waterfalls are called Merkjárfoss Falls. Windows in Gluggafoss waterfall What makes Gluggafoss unique is its geology - the river has created several holes and tunnels in the soft palagonite bedrock, through which the water finds its way - we call them "gluggar" or windows. Gluggafoss is well worth visiting for this unique geology alone, but i

A Helicopter Ride to the Volcanic Eruption in Mt. Fagradalsfjall in SW-Iceland

A Helicopter Ride to the Volcanic Eruption in Mt. Fagradalsfjall in SW-Iceland

Finally, I was able to see the volcanic eruption in Mt. Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanesskagi peninsula with my own eyes. We had booked a helicopter flight at the start of the eruption, but it wasn't until 7 weeks later that it was our turn, as the demand for a helicopter flight to the volcano was so great. The people on the long waiting list were mostly Icelanders as no tourists were coming over to Iceland due to the Covid restrictions. We all wanted to see the volcanic eruptions and hikers were flocking to the volcano. With my mother-in-law in the helicopter In my last travel blog, I t

The Volcanic Eruption in Mt. Fagradalsfjall and Geldingadalir in SW-Iceland

The Volcanic Eruption in Mt. Fagradalsfjall and Geldingadalir in SW-Iceland

After 3 weeks of almost constant earthquakes, approximately 40,000 of them to be exact, which were driving us crazy here on the south-west corner of Iceland, we finally got a volcanic eruption at Geldingadalir by Mt. Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanesskagi peninsula. A crater opened in Geldingadalir which spew out primitive molten lava 17 km from the Earth's mantle, something that is quite out of the ordinary - but then this volcanic eruption is out of the ordinary as there has not been a volcanic eruption in this location for some 6,000 years! The volcanic eruption When I say that we fin

A Visit to Kollsvík Cove in the Westfjords - the smallest Settlement in Iceland

A Visit to Kollsvík Cove in the Westfjords - the smallest Settlement in Iceland

Látravík and Breiðavík are well-known coves in the Westfjords of Iceland, but both of them belong to the Útvikur coves. Many people will for sure have heard about Látrabjarg, the largest seabird cliff in my country in the vicinity, which is the best place to photograph a puffin in Iceland. I have shown you both Látrabjarg, Látravík, and Breiðavík in my travel-blogs, but there is yet another cove that belongs to the Útvíkur coves, the remote and beautiful Kollsvík cove.

Ancient Archaeological Viking Ruins I have visited on my Travels in Iceland

Ancient Archaeological Viking Ruins I have visited on my Travels in Iceland

In this travel-blog, I want to show you the Viking ruins - the archaeological sites where settlement-age farms have been discovered in Iceland. I have visited several such archaeological sites during my many years of travels in my country. I am very often asked about Viking ruins and have written this travel-blog as a reference to show to people, who are interested in the Vikings and Viking ruins. Most of our Viking stuff is still hidden in the ground, but we have discovered many ruins and pagan graves around Iceland. I must reiterate though that this is a travel-blog and by no means a pro

The amazing Lambafellsklofi Rift on the Reykjanesskagi Peninsula in South-West Iceland

The amazing Lambafellsklofi Rift on the Reykjanesskagi Peninsula in South-West Iceland

One of the many spectacular sights on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwest Iceland is the amazing Lambafellsklofi rift in Mt. Lambafell, which most likely dates back to the second last glacial period. It is a sight worth seeing, as here Mt. Lambafell almost got ripped in two due to dislocation or tension fractures. And it is possible to hike inside the narrow rift. Top photo: Hiking inside Lambafellsklofi rift A huge lava rock in the vast lava field This whole area is a volcanic area, and you will see volcanoes and lava fields left and right. To reach Lambafellsklofi, which is also c

The lovely Country Hotel Hraunsnef in West Iceland and its beautiful Surroundings

The lovely Country Hotel Hraunsnef in West Iceland and its beautiful Surroundings

As a Mother’s day gift, I invite my mother on a girls’ trip to a hotel in the countryside instead of giving her flowers. I invited her to the lovely family-run farm hotel Hraunsnef in Norðurárdalur valley in Borgarfjörður, where we had a wonderful stay. Both of us love the beautiful Borgarfjörður, which is not far from Reykjavík, where we live, so it makes for a perfect outing for one night. Opening photo: the view from the terrace in front of our room The "turf house" at Hraunsnef It had been on my agenda to visit Hraunsnef for years and I had ogled it every time we passed it on my way

The Peculiar Rock, Steðji-Staupasteinn, in Hvalfjörður in Southwest Iceland

The Peculiar Rock, Steðji-Staupasteinn, in Hvalfjörður in Southwest Iceland

In the beautiful Hvalfjörður fjord in SW-Iceland, you will find a very peculiar almost 3 meters high rock called Steðji. This rock is in the shape of a goblet and the hermit living in it is the Protector of the Hvalfjarðargöng tunnel. Other names for Steðji are Staupasteinn, Prestur, and Karlinn í Skeiðhóli - the Old man in Skeiðhóll hill. Top photo: greeting the man in Staupasteinn Staupasteinn and the parking space - the road is closed further on so you have to turn around. Before the Hvalfjarðargöng tunnel was opened in 1998 the road via Hvalfjörður was on the ring-road one route, a

The lovely little Hrunalaug Natural Hot Pool in South Iceland

The lovely little Hrunalaug Natural Hot Pool in South Iceland

One of the many delights of Iceland, and a particular favourite of mine, is being able to take a dip in a natural hot pool in the middle of nature. Soaking in hot pools is very popular amongst tourists and locals alike and few things beat soaking in a lovely warm pool in the middle of a bright summer night after a long day of travelling in Iceland. Top photo: Hrunalaug Hrunalaug pool I have already shown you the many natural hot pools in the Westfjords of Iceland and a couple of natural hot springs in West Iceland in other travel-blogs.
