Islands ringvei på 9 dager
Iceland
Oversikt
This route circles Iceland's Ring Road counter-clockwise from Reykjavik, covering the south coast's waterfalls and black beaches, the glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón, the East Fjords, the volcanic Mývatn area, and Akureyri before returning. A 4x4 rental car is essential — distances are long and weather changes fast.
