Iceland 2024 Photos

Spent the last week of August 2024 in Iceland.  It was my first trip, but Kim's third visit. Absolutely loved #vanlife for the week.  Every mile was met with glaciers, waterfalls, sheep, and often in gale-force winds. We camped on the 66th Parallel in which is the furthest North I've ever been, matching Hobart Tasmania in the Souther Hemisphere for me. The photos below are in reverse order, but give a great look at the incredible scenery of Iceland. Caves, Glaciers, Glacial Lakes, Volcanos, Mountains and so much more.  

While the food and drink are expensive, like Hawaii, it is an island and that is to be expected along with currency conversions.  We did not spend any time in Reykjavik, so certainly we'll be back. Icelandair from Chicago was cheap and easy with a short 6 hour flight. Budget though it may be, it made for an inexpensive way to get to Iceland and can be used as a jumping off point to connections in Europe.
