Iceland and Greenland have long been at the center of a controversy regarding the origin of their names. It hardly seems fair that Iceland, with its lush green fields, was branded with such a chill-inducing moniker, and Greenland’s massive glaciers ... Read more >

There’s always a strange feeling you get in your gut when
you board a plane belonging to an airline you’ve never heard of, and I had
plenty of it stepping on to our Icelandic Air flight to Reykjavik. It may have
been a combination ... Read more >

So ends my time in Iceland (for now)!
I had a very easygoing day just around town. I had my buffet
breakfast in the morning and then walked around central Reykjavik
taking photos. Today is probably the worst day of weather I've
experienced since ... Read more >

Second to last day in Iceland! I
didn't have any scheduled activities this morning, so I woke up later
than usual and when I sat up I realized I was feeling the pain from
horseback-riding. Combined with still being sore from snorkeling and
glacier-... Read more >

Another travel plan gone awry. I woke
up early this morning to get ready for horseback-riding. I got to
the lobby exactly at 8:45 to meet my bus and waited, and waited, and
waited for an hour. I thought maybe the bus had come and left
without ... Read more >

Longest day in Iceland yet. I kept
hitting the snooze and finally dragged myself out of bed and made it
to the lobby to wait for the bus at 7:00 sharp. The bus didn't come
until 7:13 and once we finished picking everyone else up we headed to
Skaftafell, ... Read more >

Ah it feels great to sleep in. I was very energized all day today. I headed down for the breakfast buffet in the hotel this morning and spent a good 40 minutes getting second and third servings along with orange juice and coffee. Then I headed to ... Read more >

Oh what a long day. I went on the Snaefellnes Peninsula tour with Reykjavik Excursions. It was a lot of sitting on a bus and frequently getting off to walk around, then getting back on the bus to head to another location. It was a lot smaller group ... Read more >

Today was, you guessed it, another beautiful day in Iceland. There was a little bit of rain coming down in the late afternoon but in general there's been nothing but blue skies. I went on the Hvita river today in Drumbo for some whitewater rafting ... Read more >

I took the Golden Circle tour with Reykjavik Excursions today. This is the most popular day trip in all of Iceland so it was a giant bus and I heard some Americans among the crowd. Very loud Americans with very loud kids but they were still better than ... Read more >

Today was another gorgeous day in Iceland. I was expecting it to be a lot colder here, so all my special technical clothing that I brought – cold weather/waterproof/windproof – is slightly overkill at this point, but I'll probably find good use for them ... Read more >

Good evening from Iceland! This is a
milestone because this is the first country I've ever been to (USA,
New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, UK) that was never part of
the mighty British Empire. It's 11:30 p.m. and it is still daylight
outside.... Read more >
