What's the best time to visit Iceland?

🌼🌞🏔️ Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter - Iceland's beauty knows no bounds! 🔍🇮🇸

🌷🌳 With Spring comes blooming flowers, milder temperatures, and exciting hiking opportunities. Follow the migratory birds and witness the powerful waterfalls fed by melting snow and ice! 🦅🚶

🌞☀️ Summer brings almost 24 hours of daylight, mild weather, remote location (such as highlands) accessibility, abundant wildlife, and fun-filled events and festivals! ❄️🐋🎶

🍁🍂 While Autumn offers stunning fall foliage, chances to witness the Northern Lights, and fewer crowds, it's also the season of unpredictable weather and shorter days. So plan accordingly! 🍃🌅

❄️🌨️ Winter in Iceland is nothing short of magical. Long nights mean more Northern Lights sightings, and the snowy landscapes provide the perfect setting for a geothermal pool and hot spring dips. BUT be prepared for the cold, shorter days, and challenging road conditions. 🏔️💧

No matter the season, Iceland promises unforgettable experiences. So gather your happy campers and embark on a journey of a lifetime! ✨🚐❤️

Adventure awaits, fellow wanderers! ✨🌍 When it comes to travel, we've got some epic tips to share with you. One of the best pieces of advice we can give you is to avoid overscheduling and leave room to immerse yourself in nature's embrace. 🌿🏞️

We get it, there's so much to see and do in this incredible world of ours. But sometimes, in our eagerness to check off all the bucket list items, we forget to slow down and truly connect with the places we visit. Iceland, with its stunning landscapes and awe-inspiring nature, is the perfect reminder to take it easy and savor the moments. 🌈💚

Instead of cramming your days with back-to-back activities, give yourself the gift of time. Allow for spontaneous detours, unplanned hikes, and impromptu picnics by the waterfalls. Let the magic of the Icelandic countryside unfold at its own pace, and watch as each moment becomes a cherished memory. 🌺📸

Whether you're exploring the ethereal beauty of Skógafoss, soaking in the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon, or camping under the dancing Northern Lights, remember to embrace the serenity around you. Take a deep breath, feel the earth beneath your feet, and let nature's calming presence rejuvenate your soul. 🌌🍃

So, dear adventurers, as you plan your next journey, don't forget to schedule some unscheduled time. Allow the unexpected to unfold, and let your wanderlust lead you to hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path wonders. Trust us, the magic happens when you slow down and allow nature to work its enchantment. Happy travels! 😊✨

As many of you already heard, yesterday a new eruption started in the Reykjanes peninsula.

The start of the eruption is a captivating reminder of the ever-changing nature of our world.

Please note the access to the eruption site is closed due to the huge amount of gas pollution.
The chief of police in Reykjanes peninsula, in consultation with scientists and an epidemiologist, has taken the decision to close all trails to the volcano due to massive gas pollution that is life-threatening. In the next few hours, it is likely that there will be a lot of gas pollution, and it will build up due to light winds. People who have already left, or have arrived at the site, are asked to turn around immediately.

Work is being done on how to make access to the volcano as easy as possible once gas pollution has been reduced.

Please monitor safetravel.is for the latest updates.
