Flying penguins

Látrabjarg cliffs offer a chance to meet some of the cutest flying birds living in the northern lands — puffins — as well a chance to see a huge variety of other sea birds, with millions of birds making the cliffs their home.

Northern jazz

Often, some of the most beautiful moments come as a surprise.

Next to the airport, an almost forgotten industrial fishing town, Grindavík may provide one of those unexpected surprises. After a long ride from Highlands, you may anticipate nothing more than a few hours sleep, especially if you need to catch an early flight in the morning.

However, if you are adventurous, hidden deeply in the harbor, you will find Bryggjan café, which not only serves a delicious lobster soup but also hosts a vibrant jazz community.

The land of sheep

Sheep are everywhere, seriously, everywhere! You will find them on mountain hills, roads and even on lava fields. They are an inherent part of Iceland’s landscape.

Driving across the Highlands

Iceland’s highlands are covered with a network of mountain roads. Most of which are closed during the winter, but even if open in the summer, they might still be very challenging to pass without a really good 4WD car…

Mysterious rivers of the Golden Circle

Surprisingly, most people only visit Skógafoss but forget about the waterfall’s source — the Skógá river. However, only a few hundred meters from the cowded viewing point, you can experience one of the most beautiful river canyons in Iceland.
