Arrived in Iceland together with my Fiat Tipo by ferry from Denmark (Hanstolm) after stopping for a visit of Torshavn Far Hours. Landing Seydisfjordur and early tour of the island clockwise. Iceland and the beautiful landscape that crosses very varied: rugged coastlines, glaciers, volcanoes, lava deserts, steaming lands. Furthermore, the area is virtually untouched because so large an island is inhabited only along the coast and I live just 250,000 people. After the town of Hofn stop at the small lake where Jokulsarlon loose iceberg of reduced size. Hof is to leave the coast to the waterfall Skaftafel, jet of water that plunges from an amphitheater of basalt columns. Stop in a country from the unpronounceable name: Kirkiubaeiarklastur, passing for Vik, Skog, Hella, Selfoss. Selfoss is initiated by the visit to the most geologically interesting with waterfalls of Gullfoss and Geysir. Pingvellir is a rift in the rock that should mark the boundary between Europe and America but is also the place where he met one of the oldest parliaments of the world and where is the lake Pingvalla.
Reykjavik, the capital, not far away, is modern and clean. In his small town c? Is little to see: the road commrciale, a pond, the house where they met for the second time Gorbachev and Regan to the thaw between the two countries. Continue north between rain and fog until the modern Akureyri, port and second city of the island. Below the waterfall Godafoss and interesting area of Lake Myvatn is surrounded by curious lava formations and small extinct volcanoes. Further east to visit the park waterfall Dettifoss Joculsa then, after a brief stop Egilsstadabaer, a Seydisfjordur for boarding the ferry that I reported in Denmark after a short stop at the islands Torshavn Far Hours. Obviously, during this long journey I have not slept but remember where. I had purchased a prepaid package of overnight stays in the most charming inns of which was close to Akureyri, a parish house beside the church and small cemetery. I remember well that he domito on two consecutive nights near Lake Myvatn Reykiahid.
Do not miss: Iceland as a whole.
