Iceland | South Coast

It’s been almost two years since I was in Iceland, and after booking a flight there last night (we’re returning in August on our way to my sister’s wedding) I realized that I hadn’t posted any photos from what was the most majestic (and epic) day of the entire trip.

A 14 hour tour of the South Coast of Iceland, culminating in the magical and breathtaking (literally, it was so cold) Jokulsarlon – the glacier lagoon.

Here are my attempts to capture that magic.

Skógafoss Waterfall

Eyjafjallajökul Volcano

This was the volcano that erupted back in 2010, this little farm sits right at the base (don’t worry everyone left safely during the eruption as it moved very slowly)

Vik

The black sand beaches of Vik were a quick stop on this epic tour of the south coast but well worthwhile, a spot I’d love to have spent a whole day exploring, but we had a long way to go to get to Jokulsarlon…

Fjaðrárgljúfur

Feather Canyon was our last stop before we made it to the glacier lagoon, and offered a chance to stretch our legs with an uphill, and a little icy, hike to take in the views.
