After being sidelined from traveling for a year, and having to reschedule our previous trip, we were so looking forward to getting back to travel adventures. With our vaccine cards in hand and negative Covid tests complete, we were off to explore. Iceland was exactly what we needed. On this visit to Iceland, we spent [...]
Skogafoss and hiking ‘Waterfall Way’
Skogafoss is located in southern Iceland a few hours east of the capitol and just off the main highway. This of course means it’s super popular and ALWAYS busy. But if you’re willing to climb the 370 steps to the top, you can escape 2/3 of the crowd. And behind that if you choose to [...]
Luck leads to great photos in Iceland
This trip was supposed to happen in May of 2020. With the delay came a years worth of planning and preparation. Routes were discussed, where to drive, where to sleep. How long to stay in each area, one night or two? Have we visited this area before, should we again? A year of research. Months [...]
Married Traveling, A short story
Fjallsárlón, Jökulsárlón Glaciers and Diamond Beach
What came before the globe got hot? Glaciers. What will be here after we leave? Rocks that glaciers helped form. We took what ended up being a private boat ride to Fjallsárlón glacier on the southern part of Iceland. Check out some of the videos to appreciate the cold. https://videopress.com/v/eMewpXSx?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true https://videopress.com/v/umCfVC9a?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true
City of Seydisfjordur Church, Rainbow Road and surrounding area
Seydisfjordur is a half hour drive over a twisting mountain landscape where you move from 25 km/h to 90 and back down again every 150 feet. A small town of less than a thousand provides a nice break from other travelers that might be filling the ring road. We got there even earlier, by European [...]
Our Airbnb has a waterfall!
Husavik, Iceland and the surrounding area
If you’ve seen Eurovision starring Will Ferrell you’ve heard of this town before. What you’ve not seen though is the more than 100 year old one of a kind church, or the natural bay that it sits on. That bay contains some of the best whale watching in the world due to micro underwater earthquakes, [...]
Studlagil Basalt Column Canyon – Northeastern Iceland
This is what 5 miles of hiking gets you (other than in my case a sore back)
Whale Watching – Akureyri, Iceland
The videos will never do it justice, but appearances included a group of 20 or so Pilot Whales and a Humpback the locals have named Jubilee. Jubilee visits almost every year for the last five years. The group of pilot whales are a rare sight for the area as they don’t typically come in as [...]
