Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon
February 15, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ 🌫 1 °C
This was certainly an interesting place and the weather really made it, not to mention the quantity of snow in and around it. We are sure it's a great place to visit in the summer but we don't thinkRead more
Good Weather Returns
February 15, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
We awoke this morning to what looked to be the potential for a really nice day and that's exactly what we needed because we planned to visit a canyon about an hour's drive east of Vik. As you can see,Read more
Reynisfjara Beach
February 14, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ 🌙 -8 °C
As you can see, the Penguins were there again. It really is a tourist hotspot and the car park was almost full including several coaches. The main attractions here are the sea stacks, basalt columnsRead more
Those Stacks Again
February 14, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ 🌙 -8 °C
It was after 2pm before things settled down and the roads out of Vik didn't open until around 3pm, maybe later. At least we didn't have to be somewhere and we did feel for those who were stuck and hadRead more
All Roads Closed
February 14, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C
Yes, all roads are closed along the south coast of Iceland but you wouldn't want to drive in any case. Neither of us have heard winds like this before and the front of our guest house is coated withRead more
Vik Stacks Take 2
February 13, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ☀️ -6 °C
When we left Skogafoss the weather really was much better. Still no sign of the sun where we were but, annoyingly, it did look as if it might have been a sunny afternoon at Vik. We therefore decidedRead more
Skogafoss Waterfall on Ice
February 13, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ 🌙 -1 °C
Having finished with the stacks for the time being we decided, now the roads were reported as improved, to revisit Skogafoss as we guessed it would most likely be frozen and, after all, Tony did wantRead more
Time on the Beach
February 13, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
When we got outside we discovered rather more snow had fallen that we'd thought when we looked from the window and it now seemed as if maybe we'd need to dig the car out. But no, the Duster did it yetRead more
New Day at Vik
February 13, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
It had started snowing as we settled down for the night and when we opened the blinds in the morning we could see the cars were covered. We went down and found breakfast and while eating we watchedRead more
Travelling to Vik
February 12, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ 🌙 -1 °C
After leaving Skaftafell much later than we'd planned (because we enjoyed our time there) we had a 2 hour drive ahead of us. It was cloudy and dull as we left as you can see from the couple of photosRead more
Skaftafell National Park
February 12, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We were scheduled to visit Skaftafell yesterday but had ended up at the ice cave and so decided we'd do it today and not miss out. We arrived at the visitor centre to discover it's no longer free toRead more
First Photography Location
February 12, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
We hadn't been driving all that long, admiring the fantastic scenery as we went, when came across a parking area. As we've said already, these are few and far between so we decided to stop andRead more
Fantastic Weather Again
February 12, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Woke up to another lovely day with brilliant sunshine. We didn't expect this and if we had then maybe we should have gone to Diamond Beach for the sunrise. Mind you, we do have 4 million photos ofRead more
A Second Ice Cave
February 11, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
The storm of the previous night and the promised storm for later today meant that after our tour there were no more by that company that day, so our driver and guide offered us the opportunity toRead more
Ice Cave Visit
February 11, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C
We were able to book the ice cave visit for midday which again meant an awkward morning, not because of timings but because when we arrived at Jokulsarlon it was blooming freezing. It was -6c with aRead more
The Weather Changes
February 10, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ 🌧 3 °C
It seemed too early to go back to the hotel, so a little way along the road we pulled into one of the small car parks to go and see if there were photo opportunities looking over the lagoon ... more aRead more
Different Every Time
February 10, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ 🌧 3 °C
So why no photos of the ice cave?
We left the beach and turned up at the meeting point right on time, as did a young couple from Chicago who'd travelled from Vik (our next stop) that morning and hadRead more
The Other Diamond Beach
February 10, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
The main activity of the day was scheduled to be a visit to an ice cave in the glacier. This promised to be one of the highlights of the two weeks so we had to be at the cafe at Jokulsarlon for 1pm.Read more
Another Day in South Iceland
February 10, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
It was a slightly later start today, having been out so late. We had a pleasant breakfast, packed our gear and off we went even though our first stop was pretty much still in the hotel grounds. TonyRead more

Late Night Photography
February 8, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C
Here is the reason our blog updates slipped behind. A late night at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
Having arrived in the dark and found our room, we settled in and had a lovely meal then, given howRead more
First Visit to Jokulsarlon
February 8, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
We arrived at the glacier lagoon mid to late afternoon and how different it looked from when we were here in October 2016. First of all, it wasn't raining and foggy. Second, there were far fewerRead more
Travelling South Towards Jokulsarlon
February 8, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ -4 °C
The light was constantly changing, like every few seconds. From the parking area we had a lovely view to the east and to the west some mountains with dark clouds as a backdrop. The clouds towards theRead more
We Begin Day 3
February 8, 2018 in Iceland ⋅ ⛅ -4 °C
After sleeping well and having had breakfast we started the day with this view from our window. It snowed just a little in the night - just a dusting on the car. You can see the restaurant where weRead more
