    Beautiful video. I’ll follow your route in June 2021. Thank you for sharing.

    Very nice video. I was on the south part of these roads (Breiðavík, Látrabjarg and the orange sands) at the end of May 2018. Your video brings back great memories, thank you. Poorer memories for my backbone. Roads 612 and 614 were disastrous but that is Iceland. If one day the Icelanders improve the roads a lot of people won't go.

      hahaha! I agree, if these places become more accessible, a large reason to go and visit such places gets lost...

      The memories are great - but I'm with you - I don't particularly want to go back to the West Fjords any time soon. The nature is great but there are countless other places in Iceland that are not busy and easily accessible by paved roads.

    Very nice. We are repeat offenders. This year, 2023, we were in the Westfjords with the sidecar. Once around. Coming from the south, almost always along the coast. We liked Latrabjarg, Djupavik, even though the weather was foggy and a bit damp. .

    Beautiful. I felt that the transitions tended to be a bit quick for all the beauty that was going on though.

    Loved the video, thanks for publishing it. I am curious about drive times. We are planning on going this May and want to drive up to see Dynjandi over to Isafjordur and then back down that side to the ring road. Is google maps time frames accurate, it says it takes 51/2 hours to go from Reykjavik to Dynjandi. Thanks

      Sorry for the delay in answering. You probably already went - but for what it's worth expect to spend more time on the road, especially in Westfjords. The dirt roads in particular are full of potholes.

      It's a small monument on the side of road 60 between Flateyri and Thingeyri

    Did you use a 4wd for this?

    • @lightwelderphotography7532
      @lightwelderphotography7532  3 роки тому

      Yes - there was one mountain pass that I could not have done without 4wd and, more importantly, winter tires.

    Is this video of early May or later half? Seem pretty much a lot of snow and lot of places. I plan to drive a campervan, are the roads ok for that?

      I went at the beginning of May although in that part of Iceland you might see snow well into June. If you go with a campervan, insist on having it equipped with winter tires at the minimum. During my time in Djupavik I met a couple stranded there for a couple of days; they were driving in a camper van with all season tires.

      I was there the last week of May, about two weeks later than this video. The weather was fine and unfortunately there was no more snow.
      In Iceland, when the sky is blue, the snow-covered fjords are breathtaking. I saw that in Fáskrúðsfjörður and that was gorgeous. The sky, the sun, the sea and the snow.
      May is the best month to visit Iceland. Not cold and not too warm.
