Wow. I went in March. Gullfoss looks so different. Half frozen and half flowing.
9 Days and 1800km after, here is my Icelandic Journey
- Thread starter uyraffy
- Start date
Thanks, yes we were lucky that the weather was quite good.
Do you have some photos of your trip in March?
Would love to see how Iceland Looks in Winter.
Thanks.
Here are some more photos.
We were awakened at 4am by the Hotel Hekla that the Northern Lights were active and here are some Photos of them.

Day 3 of our planned itinerary
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is situated in between Selfoss and Skógafoss at the road crossing of Route 1 (the Ring Road) with the track going into Þórsmörk.
This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is possible to go behind the waterfall.

Vik Black Sand Beach
The town of Vik, considered to be one of the wettest places on earth, is 110 miles away from the capital Reykjavik and the southern most city in Iceland. The village is home to less than 300 inhabitants and to one of the world’s most beautiful black basalt sand beaches. The western cliffs of the beach are home to a large puffin population!
There is no land mass between Vik and the arctic which leaves it prone to intense weather and rough seas.

Fjallsárlón is a glacier lake at the south end of the Icelandic glacier Vatnajökull. Fjallsjökull which is part of the bigger glacier reaches down to the water of the lake and some ice-bergs are drifting by on its surface. The glacier calving into the lagoon is a part of Vatnajökull National Park and the better known glacier lake Jökulsárlón is not far from there. From the glacier lake Breiðárlón a little river flows into the Fjallsárlón.
Above, there is looming the famous volcano Öræfajökull.

Great photos TS! Thanks for sharing. Some of the pictures do show an unusually blue color cast... 10 stop filter? Maybe you want to warm them up a little.

loves the aurora photos! many stars and even have pink shades.
Thanks a lot JacePhoto, cire82, cherish123.
Thanks for the suggestion, could also be my monitor which has not been calibrated, will have to check it out.
Jökulsárlón (About this sound Icelandic pronunciation (help·info); literally "glacial river lagoon") is a large glacial lake in southeast Iceland, on the borders of Vatnajökull National Park. Situated at the head of Breiðamerkurjökull, it developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the Icelandic glaciers. The lake now stands 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) away from the ocean's edge and covers an area of about 18 km2 (6.9 sq mi). It recently became the deepest lake in Iceland at over 248 metres (814 ft) depth as glacial retreat extended its boundaries.

Really gorgeous photographs! 
I am thinking of visiting iceland too, can I check if you were travelling by yourself or did you join some tour group? Also, for the photos that you took, were they taken while on the off-beaten track or were they are tourist attractions?
Thanks!

I did a self drive tour here is the link of the tour I did. http://iceland.nordicvisitor.com/travel-deals/self-drive-tours/iceland-full-circle/176/ they will take care of arranging your car rental as well as the hotels you will be staying.
But if I were to do it again I would just do it myself since it will come out cheaper.
The sights we visited are very near to the main road which you call the ring road. We didn't go to any off the beaten track to take photos off.
Hope this helps.
