The weather forecast doesn’t look very promising, it’s going to be heavy winds and rain for two days now. But, never say die, we ventured out anyway and actually got quite a good session in the morning. We drove to Gjógv to catch some wave action again. The cliffs weren’t quite as slippery as yesterday…
Sun rises so late that we have time to eat breakfast at the hotel before heading out. This is going to be the routine for the whole week – early breakfast, lunch on the road, back to the hotel for dinner. We spent the first morning in Syðradalur, it’s a place with lava rock formations…
I have finally learned the art of not taking pictures. Which may sound like a strange thing to say for a person who has recently invested in a whole new camera system, but what I mean is that I no longer prioritise photography. I want to do hiking, mountainbiking and skiing – if I get…
I have learned that there’s only one thing which is more difficult than finding the best camera gear, and that’s finding backpack that carries the gear. Three years ago I was sure I found the king of all bags, the F-Stop Loka. It was all fine and well, until one day I bought the mirrorless Sony…
In the morning we drove to Fjaðrárgljúfur (yeah I won’t try to pronounce it either), the canyon where we experienced some of the worst weather two years ago. The wind was so hard that it wasn’t possible to walk into it because the rain hurt on the face! No problems with either wind or rain this…
We are going to Landmannalaugar today which is a new place for me, and one that I’ve really been looking forward to seeing! It’s another of the iconic places in Iceland and the road there proved it – it’s well trafficked, not in the sense that there were a lot of cars on the road this…
Our morning spot was familiar to me and not in a good way, I struggled here at Dýrholaey two years ago. I was not excited about this new opportunity and spent the first part of the morning just walking around. I finally decided that I have to at least try and found two options, and…
Our first day in the highlands was another familiar place for me, but the weather couldn’t have been more different than two years ago. It was still a bit cloudy in the morning, but the clouds faded fast and all we got was blue skies! On top of that, it was almost calm. I could…
This morning was my fifth time on the black sands of Jökulsárlón and I gave up. I had a look at the beach and saw how little ice there was now, and I didn’t even bother to try. I went for a walk which turned out to be a good thing because it gave me…
I’m back in Iceland! This will be half the same trip that I did two years ago, but hopefully with completely different weather! But at least I’m better prepared now – I have enough warm clothes with me so I don’t have to freeze the whole week like I did the last time! There was…
