October is the last month of the year in which you can explore Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon by boat, but it a visit is still well worth your while during the shorter winter months.

Only the fifth of its kind since 1900! A brilliant reason for staying up next Sunday.

Keep your eyes on the sky between midnight and 3:30 am Monday morning, September 28. There will be a total lunar eclipse.

Many of our travellers have enjoyed the Northern Lights during their september journey. We hope that many more will be as lucky :)

There might not be any castle ruins in Iceland but you can always visit an 'eyðibýli' instead.

Even though waterfalls are abounding in Iceland we have yet to receive a complaint on the issue :) Here is a picture for all of you 'foss' lovers out there! Glúfrabúi is a little hidden gem (well, its actually 40m high) close to the reknowned Seljalandsfoss.

Well, that's great news :) If you haven't booked your ticket already we recommend catching the last of this lovely August weather!

Air fares from Iceland have fallen this month on all routes from Iceland operated by more than one airline, as compared to July, according to Icelandic travel search engine website Dohop.

The best days in Iceland do not always have to be bright and sunny. View of the volcano Hekla.

Hjálparfoss is another waterfall en route to Landmannalaugar. The road leading there is a gravel road but during the summer time it should still be accessible for any vehicle. Those without 4x4 cars can visit Hjálparfoss and the reconstructed farm Stöng as a few hours detour before heading towards the South Coast.

The waterfall Háifoss is a hidden pearl on the way to Landmannalaugar. The road is only accessible on 4x4 SUVs and it can be quite a time-consuming detour, but well worth it if you are looking for remote and rugged landscape.

The newest addition to the must-do's of the Golden Circle is an ice cream barn!

Imagine buying a scoop of ice cream from a sales clerk who can not only tell you where the milk came from, but from which cow.

This is a pretty good list for those travelling to Iceland :)

This picture was taken by one of our travellers on the 1st of July on the way to Landmannalaugar. Despite the snow in some areas the road is actually pretty good and the weather there has been excellent lately! Only 4x4 access though :)

Hofsós is one of the charming fishing villages on Tröllaskagi. There you can visit the interesting Icelandic Emigration Center which was founded in 1996 and dedicated to commemorate Icelandic emigration to North America.

It looks like the road to Landmannalaugar will be opening later than usual this year do to heavy snow this winter and low temperatures in the spring. But if any place in Iceland is worth the wait, it is definetely Landmannalaugar!

Rauðisandur (Red sands) is perhaps not the best beach for sunbathing in the world but the view is quite stunning. There is also a pretty good party held there once a year, when the weather conditions are suitable :)

Although Iceland Airwaves remains the most popular music festival in Iceland there are many more to choose from. The Secret Solstice fesitval will have a great line-up this year and the time of year in which it is held doesn´t hurt either.
