Home - ICELAND
Far away from the deafening noises of cities. Far away from hate and conflicts. Here, between atlantic & arctic ocean, lies an island of undescribable beauty. This is the story, of how this country changes the way we see the world. Welcome to ICELAND.
We spent two unforgettable weeks in september there. With over 3300km driven and 58 hours on the road, we saw every type of landscape possible. Waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, beaches, mountains, lakes, canyons, ... This place has it all.
At the beginning, you think you have seen the most beautiful sight of your trip. But you soon realise you will be thinking it every hour and every minute of your stay here ...

Akureyri and Santa's House Iceland
Akureyri has approx. 16.000 inhabitants and is Iceland's second most important commercial and industrial center. As you drive through Akureyri’s colorful streets, it is almost like taking a journey through the different eras of Akureyri's history. We begin with a stop at the modern church whose wonderful stained glass windows are renowned. Stroll the pathways of the lovely Botanical Garden before continuing to the Nonni Museum. Here, you will find an exhibition commemorating the works of writer Pastor John Sveinsson whose children's books earned international acclaim in the 1930’s-1950’s. See the fishing boats in the busy harbor en route to Listagil Street. It is in this area, in the very heart of the town, that artisans keep their workshops and galleries. You will have time to browse for a short while before boarding your coach once more in order to drive outside of Akureyri's city limits. Santa’s House is your destination and while at this latitude it is tempting to believe that it could well be the real thing, this Santa's House is actually a charming Christmas store which is open for business all year round! This is a great opportunity to pick up some mementos of your trip to Iceland.
Akureyri is a town in northern Iceland. It is Iceland's second largest urban area (after the Capital Region) and fourth largest municipality (after Reykjavík, Hafnarfjörður, and Kópavogur).
Nicknamed the Capital of North Iceland, Akureyri is an important port and fishing centre. The area where Akureyri is located was settled in the 9th century but did not receive a municipal charter until 1786.The town was the site of Allied units during World War II. Further growth occurred after the war as the Icelandic population increasingly moved to urban areas.
The area has a relatively mild climate because of geographical factors, and the town's ice-free harbour has played a significant role in its history
Akureyri is located at 65°41′N 18°06′WCoordinates: 65°41′N 18°06′W and positioned on the west side of the inland end of the fjord Eyjafjörður.
It is surrounded by mountains, the highest being Kista (1,447 metres (4,747 feet); 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) to the west) and another peak of 1,538 metres (5,046 feet) at the head of Glerádalur, 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) to the southwest. There is a narrow coastal strip of flat land; inland is a steep but low hill. In earlier times a few spits of land (Icelandic: eyri, thus Akur-eyri) jutted from the narrow coast, but a lot of land has since been reclaimed from the sea so that today the coastline is more even except for the largest spit, Oddeyri, which was formed by the river Glerá which runs through the town. It is thought that the name of the town is possibly derived from the name of a field which may have been situated near some of the sheltered locations by the river.
The body of sea between Oddeyri and the end of the fjord is known as Pollurinn (The Pool) and is known for calm winds and a good natural harbour. Akureyri today is centered on Ráðhústorg (Town Hall Square) near the northwest corner of Pollurinn. The districts of Akureyri are: Innbær, the oldest part of town on the strip of land between the hill and Pollurinn south of the central area; Brekkan, on top of the hill; Oddeyri on the peninsula of the same name; and Glerárhverfi on the north bank of the Glerá (also referred to colloquially as Þorpið, 'the Village'). Because of the town's position at the head of a long fjord surrounded by high mountains, the climate is more typically inland than coastal, with greater variations in temperature (warmer summers, colder winters) than in many other inhabited parts of Iceland. However, the mountains shield the town from strong winds. The relatively warm climate (for its latitude) allows the botanical gardens to flourish without need of a greenhouse.The area around Akureyri has one of the warmest climates in Iceland, even though it is only 100 km (62 mi) from the Arctic Circle.

Small Icelandic Towns #5 - Old and New Houses in Hafnarfjörður
Hafnarfjörður is Iceland's third largest town, with a population of over 29.800 where daily life and culture thrives in the middle of an old lava field. The town retains its small-town air, its rural aura and its heart - which is not surprising given that the it prides itself on the largest unbroken neighborhood of corrugated iron-clad timber houses in Iceland.
Enjoy this winter drive after first snowfall in 2019 where i take you trough the diverse building history, starting in the town center from where we move into the oldest part and from there into more recent neighborhoods, and end by the docks.
For me personally it's always a pleasure to visit Hafnarfjörður. Even the town is a part of the capital area, it has it's own soul and people from there distinct them from rest of the capital area and want to be able to seek all service locally. It's something that the people from the other towns that create the capital area usually do since it's hard to see whan you are in Reykjavik or the surrounding towns of Garðabær, Kópavogur, Seltjarnarnes and of course Hafnarfjörður with it's own soul.

Iceland - a country of glaciers.
Iceland - a country of unique natural beauty and spectacular blondes. Iceland - the country of the ice or ice country - an island nation located in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Capital - Reykjavik, big city - Kopavogur and Akureyri.
Contrary to the name and the presence of glaciers, Iceland - not an Arctic country. the country's climate is maritime, moderately cool, windy, wet and changeable. Weather two sea currents affect in Iceland (the warm North Atlantic, the continuation of the Gulf Stream and the cold East Greenland) and the Arctic drifting ice that accumulates on the northern and eastern coasts. July and August - the warmest months (in Reykjavik in July to +20 ° C). It is better to come here in the summer, before the end of August: September start to close for the winter hotels, reduces the number of flights of public transport, and the nature slowly taken impede freedom of movement.
Исландия - страна уникальных природных красот и эффектных блондинок. Исла́ндия - «страна льдов» или «ледяная страна» - островное государство, расположенное в северной части Атлантического океана .
Столица — Рейкьявик , крупные города — Копавогур и Акурейри .
Вопреки названию и наличию ледников, Исландия — отнюдь не арктическая страна. Климат в стране морской, умеренно-прохладный, с сильными ветрами, влажный и переменчивый. На погоду в Исландии влияют два морских течения (тёплое Северо-Атлантическое, продолжение Гольфстрима, и холодное Восточно-Гренландское) и арктический дрейфующий лёд, который скапливается на северном и восточном побережьях. Июль и август — самые тёплые месяцы (в Рейкьявике в июле до +20 °C). Лучше приезжать сюда летом, до конца августа: с сентября начинают закрываться на зиму гостиницы, сокращается число рейсов общественного транспорта, да и сама природа потихоньку принимается препятствовать свободе передвижения.

The unique location of Fossatun Restaurant & Reception is clear in this short video. In summer guests enjoy the bright evenings and in the dark of winter the Troll Waterfalls are mildly lit up offering a different amazing view, not to mention when the Northern Lights dance above.
