In the third episode of Circling Iceland we are heading south to the big glaciers - starting with the Jökulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and an ice cave tour with our friends from localguide, before hiking to another waterfall: the Svartifoss.
This time we use Vik as our base to explore the Southern Region of Iceland with it’s hot springs at Seljavallalaug, the „Bieber“ canyon Fjadrargljufur and the waterfall shooting stars „Sejlalandsfoss“ and „Skogafoss“.
Even though we finished the Ring Road this won’t be the last episode - in the upcoming episode we’ll show you around in Reykjavik and take on the Golden Circle!
Traveling Icelands Ring Road is the perfect way to get to know the country on and off the tourist paths. Therefore we took about 2 weeks to get to know Iceland properly by exploring waterfalls, canyons, hot springs, glacier caves, black beaches and of course the stunning coastlines all around the island finishing off in Reykjavik with the countries biggest music festival called „Iceland Airwaves“
