Day 5 of my Iceland Ring Road trip was a sunny day

Day 5 of my Iceland Ring Road trip was a sunny day. It was also a long day, because I had some catching up to do. In the morning I backtracked from Vik to see the two mandatory points – Dyrholaey and Reynisfjara – that I skipped yesterday because of the rains, and in the afternoon started my journey East. From now on I will have to spend 3-4 hours a day behind the wheel, and today I got the first taste of that.

Just driving the Ring Road, stopping at viewpoints, takes a lot of stamina. Choices have to be made. Every inch of the landscape is instagrammable, you diligently stop at first 5 viewpoints only to find that the next 5 are even better. Eventually you start skipping, shedding photographer’s tears of blood. And then there are places you actually need to walk up to, like today’s Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon. My physical resources are very limited, so - choices again.

But it was a wonderful day. From impressive floodplains of Katla (Katla is a nasty volcano, hiding under a glacier; whenever it erupts – which it does rather regularly – the whole thing melts and goes down into the ocean) to freakishly scary Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon (to think that people used to just hang out there without the railings! seriously!) to majestic icefields of Vatnajokull and finally to the Glacier Lagoon. Everything they say about it is true. This was the highlight of my day. Looking forward to the boat tour tomorrow.

Day 6 of my Iceland Ring Road trip was mostly spen

Day 6 of my Iceland Ring Road trip was mostly spent in the Glacier Lagoon. Yes, again. When planning the trip, I listened to other travelers and allowed myself plenty of time here. Yesterday I made a quick stop for about 1 hour at sunset. Today I went again in the morning for the Zodiac boat tour (photo of me in full body armor in stories) and stayed until afternoon, taking it all in.

What can I say. There isn’t many places on Earth you can comfortably drive up to where chunks of glacier are scattered across the beach and you can go on a boat in a lake full of icebergs. This is the first time in my life I’ve seen something like this. I know in Alaska there is a similar place, but I haven’t been to Alaska yet, so can’t compare. Hopefully, someday.
