South Iceland 

The Viking Trail leads us out of Reykjavik towards the prominent agricultural towns of Selfoss and Hvollsvöllur. As we venture further south, the characteristic lowland vistas give way to more mountainous landscapes, and soon, the ice caps come into view. Glaciers, farmlands, and volcanoes await the camera lens on the one side – while out to sea, the Westman Islands shimmer seductively on the horizon.

Waterfalls 

We stop at the ever-popular Seljalandsfoss, where, if conditions allow, we walk behind the waterfall’s curtain before visiting its nearby cousin, Gljúfrabúi, hidden from view in the mountainside. Then it’s back on the road to hunt down yet another of Iceland’s famous waterfalls; this time, it’s the impressive Skógafoss with its dramatic 60-meter fall. Here, we will take a moment to savor yet another of Mother Earth’s superb creations before heading toward one of the country’s most visited towns: Vík í Mýrdal.

Vík í Mýrdal

This small coastal village is the only one in the country since it has no harbor. From the church, we can take amazing photos of a fantastic panoramic view over the village and the coast beyond.

Black Sand Beach 

Having reached our southernmost point, we about turned and made our way back to the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara, where we spent some time exploring and soaking up the atmosphere of these dramatic environs. The sight of the mighty North Atlantic, as it crashes onto the black sands, makes for a powerful and unforgettable image!

Glacier 

But we are not done yet! We go back on the Viking Trail, this time taking the coast road and heading towards the Sólheimajökull glacier. Having now placed a foot upon the glacier, we return to Reykjavik, where you can browse through the photos you have taken all day of this tour’s magnificent scenery.
