We had this incredible beach all to ourselves:

Raudasandur in the West Fjords is a white sandy beach that stretches for kilometres with Latrabjarg rising from the sea at the far end. Me and my wife had this incredible beach all to ourselves for a day in June!

the "tourist trap":

I first came to Iceland in May 2002. I was on my way back to my native Boston from Sweden, where I had been on vacation for a few days. Icelandair let me stop over so I decided to spend a weekend in Reykjavik on the way, not knowing what to expect. I stepped out of my guesthou...

I am starting to love Iceland more and more.:

Hello....

The impact Iceland has had on my life..:

It's a bit hard to explain the impact that Iceland has had on my life. I moved to Reykjavík over 5 years ago to escape the stress of living in Chicago, a city of 9.7 million people. I knew I wanted a large change in life, though I had no idea of the impact Iceland wou...

I was over the rainbow!:

Black Sheep and East Iceland:

I've never understood why tourists thought Iceland was so amazing until I went on an Interrail in 2005 and saw nothing but trees. After I came home I finally understood why. You can actually see the landscape!...

Black beach:

Being Australian I've grown up being spoilt for beaches, but the sheer scale of the vast sand/ash plains and black beaches of iceland absolutely blew me away. Emotionally it has a strange effect. I couldn't help but feel a strange connection to the land, but at the same time,...

It is sad:

It's ugly to sell nature....

Magical Myvatn:

Iceland is most inspirational in winter. Myvatn's Ice Tolt is so special. I feel as though I have been invited to the greatest private party in the world.

Inspired By Iceland:

My Iceland? You want my Iceland? Very well, but I warn you that if I give you my Iceland you will not get your Iceland back again. My Iceland, after all, is filtered partly through Olaf Olafson, and just as his dreams become part of memory so my reality will become part of ...

East Fjords Traffic Jam:

I had been to Iceland many times, but had never driven the entire Ring Road. So in May 2008 when I decided to visit with my friend Robert and asked him what he wanted to see and he said "all of it" I knew what we had to do - Ring Road Adventure!!!! ...
