Dear friends of Nonni Travel, Iceland and the Arctic North,

Here we go again 🌋 Nature is talking to us and we are experiencing once more exciting times in Iceland:

After a series of thousands of earthquakes over the past weeks in the southwestern part of Iceland, another volcanic eruption was expected to happen very soon.

On Monday, 10 of July at 16:40 Icelandic time, a fissure eruption started very close to the Fagradalsfjall eruption site of 2021 and 2022. The new eruption site is about 38 kilometers away from the capital Reykjavik, located in a remote and uninhabited part on Reykjanes Peninsula in the Southwest of Iceland. As last year the current eruption doesn't show any threat to aviation, infrastructure or populated areas at this point of time.

Tourists and locals who are planning to visit the eruption site, please check the latest official information before you head out to the site as conditions can change quickly. You can follow the newest info at https://safetravel.is/ and Safetravel.is Iceland

Please be aware that the eruption site is NOT at all a safe area! New erupting fissures/craters can open up without much notice. In addition to that critical gas pollution has been measured. The gas is not visible nor can you smell it.

Be safe, use common sense, follow the official guidelines and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience!

Just now a volcanic eruption started in the Reykjanes peninsula again.

Akureyri and the North of Iceland have a new outdoor adventure!!!

Tourists and locals alike can enjoy an exciting 2 hour adventure ziplining over the amazing canyons and waters of Glerá river 🤪😁😍 Of course, the Nonni Travel team had to try and see this with their own eyes, what a great and fun experience!!

Thank you Zipline Akureyri for this great experience and exciting addition to our outdoor activities here in the North of Iceland!

We definitely recommend you to check it out when in Iceland!

24/08/2022

Wow, we are impressed!!

Two of the world’s most celebrated rock climbers, Alex Hannold and Hazel Findlay just completed the ascent of one of the world’s tallest monoliths - A 3,750-foot tall rock wall known as Ingmikortilaq in East Greenland!

Congratulations! 🥳

Battling treacherous conditions, celebrated rock climbers help a scientist traverse a remote Greenland ice cap, gathering crucial climate data along the way.

To all travellers wanting to visit the eruption in Southwest Iceland:
Below you can find a good description from Safetravel.is Iceland on how to get there and what to consider 👍

Here we go again 🗻 A new eruption has started just this afternoon - not far away from the site of last years' spectacular eruption at Geldingadalur in the Southwest of Iceland.

Last year we were able to admire this picture postcard eruption over a time period of several months with impressive lava streams filling up a deserted valley - with no people or buildings at harm. For many locals and visitors alike that was one of their most magical moments - definitely a once in a lifetime experience to admire, feel, smell and hear glowing lava in breathtaking nature 🔥✨

We are excited to see how this eruption evolves.
The Earth is alive 😍

You can find the livestreams of the current eruption here:

If you are in Iceland at the moment:
We can totally understand that you are super excited about this and can't wait and see the activity with your own eyes (same for us 😍😁). Please note, that the area is still closed to public traffic, so wait and stick to the online livestreams until the experts have given green light!

WE HAVE A LIVE ERUPTION, BABY! 🌋 Check out our stories for a live stream and more information!

Winter lights festival began yesterday in Reykjavik to celebrate the end of Iceland's darkest (and beautiful twilight) season ✨

Whilst these days, we have around 7.5 hours of daylight by the beginning of March, Iceland will have more daylight hours already than Central Europe. The peak of daylight we celebrate in June with the stunning midsummer nights and the never setting sun ☀️

Do you have a lot of difference in daylight hours in your country and how do you like it?

The Reykjavík Winter Lights Festival begins today and continues through Sunday, February 6.

Iceland: New openings in 2022 😍

When life gives you hot water, create a stunning SPA 💦🌳😊

A few years ago, during tunnel constructions in the North of Iceland, workers have hit an unknown geothermal hot water source. Whilst it complicated the tunnel constructions back then, now it will be used for a new exciting Spa experience.

The Forest Lagoon, also called Skógarböð Geothermal Spa will open in about 1 month close to Akureyri, the home of the Nonni Travel office.

You bet, we can't wait to soak in those waters after work 😍💦

Northern Iceland's brand-new Forest Lagoon will likely open in late February.

Iceland and Nonni Travel are looking forward to you 😍

Are you planning to come?

It's this time of the year again!! Iceland doesn't have one Santa Claus but not less than 13 Yule Lads 😍🎅 Their funny names reflect their special talents, look or appetite. They are for example called Skyrgámur (Skyr Gobbler), Hurðaskellir (Door-Slammer) or Kertasnýkir (Candle Stealer) - the favourite of all Lads according to a survey amongst Icelanders.

Read more about this beautiful tradition that is alive in our homes in these days: https://nonnitravel.is/blog/iceland-at-christmas/

One Santa Claus is not enough for Icelanders. We have 13 Yule Lads! For the 13 nights before Christmas Eve, one of the troublesome brothers visits Icelandic homes to tease residents. This morning Icelandic children awoke to see the gift left behind by the first visiting Yule Lad (good children get a small gift left in their shoe, naughty children get a potato!). Meet the 13 pranksters with names such as “Door Slammer”, “Bowl Licker”, and the rest of the family: bit.ly/3lTydlE

Winter Beauty!! Akureyri in North Iceland, home of our Nonni Travel office, has put on its most beautiful winter dress again 🥰⛄️✨ And every year we are amazed by the snow-covered mountains surrounding the blue deep waters of our 70 km long fjord.

Many of our guests visiting us during winter time don't experience a true winter (anymore) in their home countries. And we are so glad that our customers who are travelling through North Iceland right now get to experience this beautiful winter version of Iceland 🥰

What about you? Where are you from and do you (still) have snowy winters in your home country?

Fallega Akureyri komin í vetrarbúninginn ☃️❄️⛷

Have you ever thought of white sand beaches and turquoise-blue waters when it comes to Iceland? No? You are not alone!

The majority of tourists leave Iceland without any idea of what they have missed 😍 Yes, aaallll Iceland is beautiful but the remote Westfjords deserve your special attention:

Lonely Planet has ranked the Westfjords of Iceland as the number 1 must-see region in 2022 - and we totally understand why!

Get inspired by a region home of rich birdcliffs, breathtaking waterfalls, creative colourful fishing villages, numerous natural hot springs and some of the finest Icelandic beaches:
