My 4 month long vacation in Iceland, this place is simply the best for any Nature lover or hiker, This is an untouched wilderness.

After a short night sleep (3 hours) I took a bus at 5 am to get to the aiport again. The flight home only took about 2,5 hours. On the way home the sky was clear and I could see the Faroer islands.

I awoke to the steaming geysirs outside my cabin and a chillly rain.  After repacking everything and loading up the car once again, I had some tea in my room.  I had bought some Skyr that I had put in the fridge overnight only to find it frozen solid and inedible this morning.  So mu…

An Aussie's tour through the very edge of human habitation - Iceland in winter.

Perhaps the most visually stunning country I've ever visited. It's certainly the most geographically diverse, given it's small size. Iceland is spectacularly beautiful!

Once we arrived, we cruised through customs where some drunk and happy fellas welcomed me into Iceland.  They were behind us in line and answered for me every time the immigration officer asked me a question.  When the officer asked me if I had been to Iceland before I replied, "no fi…
