Travel in Iceland

A #volcanic #eruption has begun in #Iceland near the town of #Grindavík. The eruption appears to be occurring within the protective barriers, with lava potentially reaching close to buildings in the town.

Birdwatchers can expect a remarkable experience as they witness puffins nesting and feeding their young, all within a stunning coastal landscape. The combination of accessibility and safety makes Borgarfjörður Eystri one of the best places in Iceland to connect with these delightful creatures.

During the nesting season, which lasts from mid-April to mid-August, approximately 10,000 pairs of puffins make their home here. The site features well-maintained boardwalks and viewing platforms at Hafnarhólmi Marina—often referred to as Puffin Marina—allowing visitors to enjoy the birds.

Borgarfjörður Eystri is a remote gem in East Iceland, often overlooked by tourists. This secluded area in the Eastfjords is famed for its impressive #puffin population, making it a prime destination for #birdwatchers eager to observe these charming seabirds up close.

It's probably about to start then and perhaps you might be able to find spots somewhere higher up with good fall colors at that time. But I would say that later would be better, maybe late September or start of October.

Árbær Open Air Museum in #Reykjavik is a lesser-known #museum that recreates traditional #Icelandic village life with historic buildings and exhibits.

Many flavors of ice cream

Ice cream

The famous "bragðarefur"

We have an extraordinary love for ice cream that defies logic and weather. Our unique "ísbíltúr" tradition means driving specifically to get ice cream - even during snowstorms! This quirky passion proves that in #Iceland, ice cream isn't just a dessert, it's a cultural phenomenon.

Swimming pools in Iceland: Don’t be shy! | Your Friend in Reykjavik Almost every community has at least one swimming pool in Iceland. It may be hard to believe, but Icelanders love to swim.

I usually go straight for the hot tubs.

"Of course, there’s a pool for doing laps, sometimes two, but you often can also find hot tubs, steam or cold baths, and jacuzzis. There are wading pools and sometimes playground-like pools with awesome waterslides for the kids!"
