What it's REALLY Like to Visit Iceland in WINTER
After dreaming about this trip for year, we finally made it to Iceland! Our plan is to slowly drive around the country on the famous Route 1 also know as the Ring Road. Along the way, we are planning to stop here and there to hopefully see as much of Iceland as possible for the best Icelandic adventure!
For our Iceland road trip, we picked up a smaller camper from our friends at Camp Easy in Reykjavík. This van is the ultimate winter camper with four wheel drive, fantastic winter tires, a heater, mini fridge and a working area which transform in a cozy bed for the night.
There is literally not better way to explore Iceland than having your own home on wheels so check out EasyCamp here: https://fas.st/t/EnRxqpvN
Our first stop today is at one of Iceland's most famous waterfall called Seljalandsfoss. It is 60m tall and not too busy during the winter months.
From there, we made our way to the Solheimasandur Plane Wreck an old fuselage left on the black sand beach from a US-Navy airplane that crashed there back in 1973 due to an ice storm. The full crew made it out alive and the wreckage has been there ever since attracting thousands of tourist every single year for that famous photo.
We then spent the night by another waterfall called Skógafoss. Iceland has many campsites all around the country with facilities like shower, toilets, mini kitchen and even WIFI. Fun fact, wild camping in Iceland is actually prohibited.
And to explore the ice in Iceland, we decided to go on an amazing glacier hike on a glacier called Falljökull which translates to Falling Glacier. Being able to walk on one of the largest glacier in the world and learn about it was a once in a lifetime experience that cannot be missed. This was organized by Icelandic Mountain Guides by Icelandia.
