Still, out of all the places I have been to, Iceland is still the country I choose to be the best for road-tripping. The scenery never gets boring and epic nature is always around another corner. A clear and sunny day only adds to the experience.
The last time I went to Iceland for a couple of days, I did not intend to drive far from the Reykjanes peninsula where the volcano eruption happened. Well, I changed my mind since the weather was so nice. I took on a 77km drive from Grindavik to Hveragerdi, I planned to take a hike in the area.
To get there, I used a road I had not driven before. This road followed the coastline. One side was a completely flat lava field and another side was mountains, the views were great. Don't be like me, don't take pictures and drive 😅. Fortunately, there is hardly any traffic on this road. Usually, I use my girlfriend to take some shots of the surrounding landscapes while I drive but this time I was alone.
The visibility was great and I was able to see Eyjafjallajökull glacier from far away. This is actually 100km away from me. I stopped for a moment and took this shot.
Next up on the road, some trees. Yeah trees, trees are a big thing in Iceland because there aren't many. It's pretty rare to see that many trees next to a road you are driving.
The final shot is taken in the town of Hveragerdi. I had previously been there during my first trip to Iceland but it was like a new place to me because the last time it was rainy and no visibility. The scenery was totally different with clear weather.
