Iceland Part 1

20 photos

The first stop on my year off travels was Iceland! These pictures are from the first two days.

On day one we drove from Reykjavík to Thingvellir National Park, then to Geysir and finally Hella for the night. Day two was particularly busy with stops at Seljalandsfoss, Seljavallalaug Swimming Pool, Skógafoss, Sólheimajökull Glacier, Kirkjufjara beach, and Reynisfjara Beach aka Black Sand Beach.

I also put together some videos of this part of the trip: Day One and Waterfalls and Beaches and Glaciers.

This was my first picture taken in Iceland! At Thingvellir National Park.

On our first night we stayed in an AirBnB just outside of Hella. This was the view from outside the house. The hay bales were a common sight throughout our trip.

We hiked up to this swimming pool that is fed partly by a hot spring. It’s open to the public and wasn’t very crowded when we got there, but it’s only cleaned once a summer and was fairly covered in algae.

A glacier and volcanic black sand in one place. Nature is wild.

Drones are not allowed at many popular locations around Iceland. It makes sense because these places are full of people and certain locations are incredibly windy which makes flying in general not a good idea.
