On a mission to start crossing some must sees off of my bucket list, I booked a quick trip to Iceland to chase the northern lights. Turns out, I barely had to leave Reykjavik and I caught my first glimpse on my first night about 10 minutes outside of town.

On August, I spent about two weeks in Iceland and Greenland. This glacier was the first astonishment as we arrived in Iceland. The first time in my life sitting so close to the glacier and touch the cold water. Not just cold but extremely freezing. Still, an unbelievably beautiful scenery with no doubt.
It was my last day in Iceland. My girlfriend and I were walking around and try to discover something new. We found this car alone on this big parking and the sunrise happened at the same time. It was one of those moments you don’t live every day.
We were doing a road trip around the famous Ring Road in Iceland. We were snowed in at a farm that we were staying over at for the night. As we had to wait for the roads to be cleared we had some time to kill and went for a short walk outside. This was literally the view from the backyard of the farm. This for me was the epitome of Iceland; awe-inspiring, breathtaking and just out of this world. There’s beauty around every corner.

It was our penultimate day in Iceland and the weather was really stormy and snowy in Reykjavík. It was cold and the wind was extemly uncomfortable but i really wanted to go to the Hallgrímskirkja to have a view about the northernmost capital of the world. The church has little stone windows so the wind was still blowing and gets stronger (and on a 75m tower you definitely feel the power of the wind much stronger anyway!)So it was impossible to photography and i though after minutes of trying i must go. But at once it was complete calm. I was alone and had this beautiful and colourful view.

My camera was out of battery as I have taken so many photos as I drive along the road in Iceland. I ended up using iPhone and it turns out to be my favorite photo. More Iceland story at: https://www.roadtripwithraj.com/on-the-road/2018/2/2/i-am-learning-to-trust-the-road-ahead-wherever-it-may-lead

Harpa Concert Hall at Sunset - Modern, glass honeycomb concert hall & conference center, home to the Icelandic national opera & symphony. On this day, you can see melting icebergs outside of the entrance, welcoming guests of the Arctic Circle climate action conference.

On a winter trip to Iceland with my fiancé we got hit by a winter blizzard. Luckily at the end of your third day on the trip, visibility began clearing up and we were able to see some beautiful sights like this. Iceland is truly beautiful and the views such as this were even more valuable to us because they were rare during the winter storm. Coordinates: 63°58'22.7"N 16°25'13.2"W

This photo was taken along the scenic drive on Route 417 in the Reykjanesfólkvangur nature reserve in Iceland. The area features lava formations, crater lakes and geothermic fields, but the main attraction to us was the incredible mountain backdrop that was presented here.⛰Read more details from our team about visiting Glymur Waterfall on our website - https://globecityguide.com/destinations/europe/iceland/attractions/reykjanesfolkvangur

I was going through some old photos and I found this shot from the first time we landed in Iceland. We drove for about 40 min and just randomly chose a turn-off. The area looked beautiful but pretty flat and we just happened to stumble upon this beauty. I knew right then that I had fallen in love with this place, I was hooked.

March 2017, on the eve of my 28th Birthday, I decided to try and catch the Norther Lights for the first time. We sat in the national park Þingvellir, just outside Reykjavik for a few hours, freezing, unsure what we were looking for. Then right in the distance I saw a very feint white light appear in the sky where the clouds were just a short hour ago. I pointed it out just as people started to stand up and get excited. The lights started here and danced above our heads and over to the other side of the hill we were standing on. I cried.

Þingvellir is a stunning national park in Southwest Iceland, about 45 minutes outside of Reykjavik, that sits in a rift valley caused by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Make sure this is part of your itinerary so that you can see the beautiful Öxarárfoss waterfall, go snorkeling at Silfra and / or hike out to the abandoned farms of Skógarkot.

Geologically Almannagjá is a part of the North Atlantic rift system that stretches to the south pole in the Atlantic ocean. The length of the Almannagjá gorge is eight kilometers and one of the interesting places where you can see tectonic plates drift apart. But you would, unfortunately, have to stay there for a few hundred years to see the movement. The cliffs that tower over the walking path tell a long, complex and fascinating geological story.

Glymur Waterfall is Iceland’s second-tallest waterfall and located in West Iceland. This photo was taken about 2 hours into this grueling hike, where the full beauty of Glymur is on display. The trailhead is about an hour drive from Reykjavík and offers one of the best hikes in the entire country. ⛰Read more details from our team about visiting Glymur Waterfall on our website -https://globecityguide.com/destinations/europe/iceland/attractions/glymur-waterfall

At the end of every Iceland trip we like to relax at the Blue Lagoon Clinic (although we haven’t been there since their updates). The rooms often offer a nice view over the nearby lava fields and watching the sunset over them is the perfect activity before heading to dinner.

I was travelling through Iceland in the fall of 2016, we stopped at a volcanic crater called, Kerið, just before sunset. Iceland is a magical place in November. There is just enough daylight to stay sane (sunrise is around 9.30am and sunset around 4pm) but at the same time sun is always very low in the sky making every minute feel like golden hour. The last 30mins before sunset, which is when this photo was taken, was one of the most beautiful skies I have ever seen.

I had the experience of going inside of a glacier - a rare opportunity. It won’t be available in 10 years time because of the glacier melting and hence becoming unstable. You may not believe that Global Warming is caused by man but it’s certainly exists and is a threat to mankind.

On the other side of this photo, behind the camera was a geothermal bath. That area was warm and bright, whereas this area was cold and deserted. The contrast amazes me.
