During the Second World War, Reyðarfjörður became a major military base, protecting the Allied convoys across the Atlantic. The Icelandic Wartime Museum thrillingly tells the story of Iceland's involvement in the global conflict. #iceland #inspiredbyiceland #visiticeland #travel

When exploring East Iceland, why not take a 75-kilometre circuit of the enormous inland lake of Lagarfljót on fully paved Route 931 for heavenly views of Hengifoss and Hallormsstaður, one of Iceland’s largest forests?

Halfway between Höfn and Djúpivogur, watch for the Hvalnes Lighthouse. The views of the nature reserve and Eystrahorn are astonishing. Eystra is Icelandic for “east”, while Horn translates as “corner”. This is the East Corner of Iceland! #iceland #inspiredbyiceland #visiticeland #explore #nature

In Fáskrúðsfjörður, a pretty village in the Eastfjords, the road signs are bilingual in tribute to the French fishermen who were frequent visitors. Pop into Café Sumarlína for a coffee and a slice of apple pie, and enjoy the views.

Hello Jessý - I’m a Brit who’s been to Ísland 21 times since 2012, with trip #22 coming up for Sigur Rós at Harpa. I’m thinking my Bluesky account will focus on Icelandic imagery!

From mid-November, the people of Siglufjörður in Iceland will be in the dark for about 74 days - the Sun won't rise above the towering mountains surrounding the village.

The residents celebrate its return on "Sun Day" (around January 28th) with coffee and pancakes in the town square.

Hello Bluesky People, I’m hoping it’s as nice over here as it used to be Over There.
