  • I think we have found the cheapest and most budget way to get out there and explore Iceland!
    In this camping episode we head to Thorsmork national park to go on an absolutely insane hike overseeing beautiful Iceland below. From there we head to see the best waterfalls we have ever seen - Skogarfoss, and Seljarlandsfoss before making our way to Viks black sand beach.

    I stayed at the second campsite of you trip a few years ago! It was my last night of a 7 day trek along the Laugavegur trail in Iceland. This trek is the most beautiful trek ever and has the most diverse landscape! I highly recommend anyone who is going to Iceland to do this trek! ( I did it at ~16 yrs old so anyone can do it) It is also more affordable than going on an organized tour like this, so if someone is looking to see what Iceland really looks like, and stay at some AMAZING campsites, know that there are other ways to do it than a tour! I cannot recommend this trek enough! Iceland is gorgeous

    The "landmarks" or hexagonal pillars you saw were probably basalt columns. The volcanic rock cools down and then cracks are formed in a certain pattern. The ones in Ireland are called the Giant's Causeway after its interesting legend which involves a Scottish giant. There is also Fingal's Cave on Staffa, Scotland which was formed around the same time.

    one thing i dont do.. is watching people do travel blog about the country i live in and have for all my life.
    but i really enjoyed this, you have a way of getting me to smile along with you.
    i hope you enjoyed our little island,
    i hate breaking it to you, but the continent thing on þingvellir is a bit of a hoax, its actually only the american contident and then a nother little one that broke of either one of them, that one then reaches all they way up to the vatnajökull area, thats why you get all the volcanic activity up there, because thats where the eurasian continent comes up shore.
    when traveling in iceland i think the most fun is to go over the highlands and the circle road on a modified truck or SUV, thats something you dont do on a budged, but thats the way to experience the country.
    then there are so many other places, like the westfjord peninsula, the area that looks somewhat like the head when you look at the country at a map. the tourist routes usually bypass that area completely. also snaefellsnes and many other place.
    cheers!

    Id love to make it to Iceland one day, see the green fields with the volcanic rock boulders. It's such a land of constant extremes, volcanos and glaciers, soft fields and rugged mountains. Just knowing how it was discovered, sailing out into the unforgiving ocean not knowing if you'll find land or fall off the edge of the world. I love everything about it, it seems like such a great adventure

    The massive "steps" are basaltic rock. It forms these formations due to volcanic eruptions. Also on that same beach you could see 3 large rocks in the sea? There is a legend going on about that. Smth about trolls or giants having to run for their life and turning into stone.

    do you need a car (rented) to move around Iceland? its cheaper to do it by public transportation?
