Iceland - Land of the Vikings

by pchamlis - last update: Apr 24, 2005

Waterfalls, waterfalls, and more waterfalls

Skogarfoss
Almost everywhere in Iceland, there is rushing water. Most of it is right beside the road, for the free enjoyment of all.

If you'd like a sense of size perspective, that TINY blue spot, just right of the base of the falls is my wife Bonnie. : )
Iceland Geysir

Move over old Faithful

Iceland is literally a land built upon volcanic and seismic activity. There are numerous geysirs throughout the country, putting on an awesome and usually free show for all.

Snaefellnes penisular, the rural Iceland

IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO ENLARGE IT. THE PHOTO IS ACTUALLY A PANORAMIC, AND THE EFFECT IS MUCH NICER. Enjoy.

When you get out onto the Snaefellness peninsular, you are getting into a much more rural part of Iceland. Most of the highways are at least partially gravel and the going can be slow. But the reward is the intense beauty and serenity of the area. In many ways, this area of the country is more intensely "Scandinavian", with it's lovely fjords and quaint fishing villages.

Pros:"clean, friendly, great natural beauty, uncrowded"
Cons:"can be expensive for basics"
In A Nutshell:"Greener than Ireland and there's no crowd. GO!"

 Great pictures. I'm going to Iceland next week and can't wait. How do you create a wide-screen photo?

 Looks like some interesting driving… both 4WD and open range.

 Fantastic photos, especially the lake near Skaftafell Park & Skogarfoss - I do have a thing for waterfalls ;) Great panoramic shots too (and I reckon I know a few people who could take a bad photo anywhere!) Would SOOOO love to visit here!
