arrival in the land of vikings and faeries...
This is a top pick! Ok so we've arrived in Iceland and although I cant send this yet because I'm out of internet reach, it'll go out when im back in Reykjavik. But I wanted to keep you all current ...I know it'll be a lot of info all at once but, for me, ...
The loop comes full circle...
This is a top pick! ... all over the world offering their couch (or coffee or info) to travelers. We found it because hotels are so expensive in Iceland that we searched the Internet and there was this site. Although it's international in scope, it was created by a ...
a deviant berry picker...
This is a top pick! So the group is going berry picking...little teeny tiny berries...I try to participate but I'm not much of a berry picker so the activity is short-lived as far as I'm concerned...I quietly sneak away from the pickers and go on a hike...I'd been ...
the final days at Thorsmorck....the rains threaten
This is a top pick! ... away by the fact that I don't know my family tree and that my parents are of two radically different ethnicities....apparently in Iceland they can take the names of two people, pop them into a computer and find out how long ago they were directly ...
COLD FEET
This is a top pick! ... the legends to life...they're generally tall and blonde and rugged and pretty earthy....and with history describing the formation of Iceland as rooted in legend...a story for everything... So back to the hike....4 river crossings in and no less ...
Cracks and fissures....
This is a top pick! ... craters venting the Krafla volcano field - its energy fuels Kroflustod Power Station, one of the largest geothermal power plants in Iceland. They started to build the plant in 1973 but were thwarted by something like 9 eruptions in 1975, ...
the work begins....getting to know the group...
This is a top pick! Monday Sept 3 The end of the first weekend....our first task - putting in a trail of volcanic stone in the driving - seriously driving - wind and sideways misty rain , like you're always in the middle of a cloud blowing about 60 mph....I'll be getting ...
A Phallological Museum.......WHAT ON EARTH ?!?
This is a top pick! ... real character...not at all offensive, but entertaining and informative in a very zoological sort of way. Apparently the tradition in Iceland of using the preserved penis of bulls for whips piqued his attention and so today we have a gem of a ...
the volcanos are real??
This is a top pick! ... some volunteers....has interesting stuff to say...apparently there's serious threat of an eruption...and although there's lots of volcanoes on Iceland, there's three most likely to burst and one is right over here...It's called Katla ...now what does that ...
Iceland beyond Thorsmorck...
This is a top pick! ... is misplaced....dealing with that is stressful...American embassy and all....can't imagine why we really need an American embassy in Iceland...but I guess one needs a place to go when the passport disappears...anyway, a plan is in place....we've moved ...
at the top of the food chain eating cookies...
This is a top pick! END OF FIRST WEEK The wind blew like hell all night...it's such a striking landscape...every time I go outside out I'm struck by the vastness and starkness of it...a wide valley of volcanic rubble...lots of large rounded stones with ...
Pulled by the VORTEX.....
This is a top pick! ... road as well), when they simultaneously built a military airbase for themselves (they cut a deal with the Icelanders). Iceland has been through some dramatic changes towards modernization over the last century, particularly since WWII. It's ...
ice...ice...iceland...
This is a top pick! ... Stina, who is standing on the opposite end of the spectrum of thought, states that without globalization, the people of Iceland would probably still be living in their grass-roofed huts and stone buildings built into the mountainside, a largely ...
Raining in Reyjavik
This is a top pick! So, lets talk about yesterday..... before the rain came! I met Stein (family friend) at 13:00hrs at Parliament - I was easy to spot - the grubby traveler amongst the politicians! Stein is an MP, representing the Left Green Party, hence ...
lost on the moon?
This is a top pick! ... WAY out of the way for...and then we aim the Yaris in the direction of the highest farm in all of Iceland, Mothrudalur...the rather stone-hearted woman at the tourist info desk in Egilsstdtir, who used far more profanity than I thought appropriate ...
The Kjolur Route
This is a top pick! ... was the first ´big metropolis´I been to since leaving Reykjavik (actually it´s the only other big metropolis in Iceland). There´s a great botanical garden there (better than the Reykjavik garden), a nice harbor, fantastic swimming ...
Heimaey Island
This is a top pick! ... mind this was a good thing, the continuous rain was starting to take its toll and I was beginning (very quickly) to hate Iceland! I took the road south to Porlakshofn, 50km that took me through grand lava fields that were covered in moss ...
Relaxing in Reykjavik
This is a top pick! ... Kerlingarfjoll, Jokulsarlon (Icebergs), the many many swimming pools around the country and the culture in Reykjavik. Greatest thing about Iceland - the feeling of being safe! I´m not too sure if this is an illusion or not, but people ...
Glaciers and Icebergs!
This is a top pick! ... 3-4 hours walking. Skaftafell National Park sits at the base of Vatnajokull - the huge icecap at the bottom of Iceland. There´s loads of beautiful walks which include views of the icecap, glaciers, waterfalls and of the beloved sandur. ...
More wonderfully strange music out of Iceland
This is a top pick! I've recently come across the band behind the music. They hail from Iceland and were formed in the mid-1990s. Sigur Ros - Victory Rose in English - create melodic, ethereal sounds woven with the lead singer's falsetto voice. Here's what they sound ...
Iceland on the rocks thanks.....
This is a top pick! ... posted. Please feel free to recommend me for any medals of bravey - Victoria Cross or Purple Heart will suffice... But a trip to Iceland would not be complete without a visit to the Blue Lagoon. "Amazing", is the only word that I could use to ...
Iceland Misbehaving - Just For Us!.
This is a top pick! ... until we find a town, Borgannes, with a hostel, secure the last double room, then begin to plan again, using maps and the internet how best to use our days in Iceland. Footnote Pingvellir National Park is UNESCO World Heritage ...
Fizz, bang, bubble and pop
This is a top pick! So, here I am in Myvatn the fizz, bang, bubble and pop capital of Iceland! The weather has treated me well, so for that I´m grateful - a much needed reprieve from the wind has been well received. It´s not exactly tropical, but hey I´m ...
Volcanic Pools And Elusive Surtsey Island.
This is a top pick! ... is that it is the World's newest Island. It was formed between 1963 and 1967 in the longest continuous volcanic eruption in Iceland's history. It sort of just shot up from the sea. Scientists are studying the way an island that is newly formed ...
On top of the world
This is a top pick! ... friends (they invited me to stay tonight but I´m having phone troubles.... actually that translates to Susan can´t dial a number in Iceland because she can´t figure out what dialing code to use) and have a look around town. I know very little ...
Hvolsvollur to Kirkjubaejarklaustur
This is a top pick! ... with every gust that the end was about to come. I spent most of the night with my little torch in my tent plotting my escape from Iceland - I was scared and very unhappy. I was on the road by 7am, keen to get out of there - I had to at least get to ...
Iceland for some Northern exposure
This is a top pick! ... (I guess it's about 500km across) and also because of its generally barren, tundra-like appearance. Apparently 80% of Iceland's landmass is glacial waterways cutting through mountainous lava deserts, so despite being a relatively small island, it has a ...
Iceland's Stunning North.
This is a top pick! ... the edge of the crater. What a spectacular sight and well worth the freezing feet! Below us lay a massive caldera with Iceland's deepest lake inside. Then inside this caldera and lake, lay another crater called Viti, quite newly formed in 1875 when ...
