Iceland: Off The Beaten Path

Jul 10, 2013 | East Iceland, Iceland, Westfjords |

For a tiny, isolated island anchored in the North Atlantic ocean, Iceland is jam packed with some of the world’s most incredibly stunning landscapes. From east to west and north to south: every bit of Iceland unfolds before the eyes of visitors in a manner that suggests Mother Nature arranged the country as if to say, “This is it. This is what it’s all about. This is the icing on the cake; the glittering bow atop a gift exchanged between loved ones. By Nicole Hay-Chapman

Feast your eyes on her beauty–allow yourself to be completely lost in amazement at the wonders of our natural world. Let it awaken that desire within you to do your very best to care for this planet we all call home.”

Go. Do. Drive the ring road around Iceland with its access to essentially limitless sights and sounds that will make your jaw drop. Float aimlessly around the Blue Lagoon in a state of ultimate relaxation while it works to give your body and mind a renewing boost. Experience the nightlife! Attend Iceland Airwaves music festival; explore Reykjavik and the surrounding area. Then, go off the beaten path. Find yourself surrounded by spectacular views of otherworldly scenery and colors you might not have known exist in nature. These visions will have you asking yourself if it is possible you might be dreaming: welcome to Remote Iceland!

I want to share a few photos of my favorite less frequented spots in Iceland in hopes that you will consider venturing out there during your next trip. I felt very emotionally bound to these areas while visiting and they continue to greatly influence my life today–my memories of them are among my favorites of those I keep.

Flatey: a quiet island getaway.

Landmannalaugar area: impossibly-pinch-me-I’m-dreaming-mind-blowingly-gorgeous.

Seyðisfjörður: a serene village alive with art and color on a fjord in the shadow of the mountains.

The Westfjords: desolate, wild and wonderful; a place of endless beauty.

TAKK Nicole for sharing your “Off The Beaten Path” spots in Iceland. I’m sure Tiny Iceland’s readers have enjoyed it. For more info about Nicole check out her guest profile and/or hop to her blog Of Sea and Stardust

  • Did you know there is a beer spa in Iceland?!? 😱🍺👏 @bjorbodin in #Árskógssandur, opened last June first of its kind in Iceland. It's run by the brewery KALDI. 😃💦🍺👏 The beer bath is a blend of young beer, fresh spring water, brewers yeast and hops. Read more about the beer spa at tinyiceland.com #TripInIceland #Bjórböðin
  • Stunning photo of #Kerið volcanic crater by @joshuamasters_  Thank you for tagging #TripInIceland
  • It's been 6 years since I started @TinyIceland 😍🎉 I have met wonderful people along the way and made many great memories. It's my passion to share my knowledge about Iceland - my website tinyiceland.com is full of informative & fun blogs. Excuse my tardiness these past months by not posting more images... but I’ve been busy raising my little viking princess who was born last December 👶. I look forward to travel around my country this summer (with a baby) and share more informative and fun things with you! Please keep tagging your photos with #TinyIceland’s official hashtag #TripInIceland (more than 27K photos have been tagged) Cheers, Inga the founder ❤️👏😉 Photo: viewing northern lights from Grótta, #Seltjarnarnes (FYI April is the last month to view the aurora until next fall).
  • It felt like summer ☀️ was around the corner today in #Reykjavik. You can never predict the weather in Iceland, some days you could even experience all seasons. 😱 But in other news April is the last month to witness the northern lights! March was a great month for viewing so let’s cross fingers for a few more good aurora borealis shows. 👏😃 Cheers, Inga #tripiniceland

  • Great aurora forecast for tonight and tomorrow if you find a spot with clear sky! They often peak around 11pm... So be ready to hunt the aurora borealis! I recommend these places to view them e.g. Grótta lighthouse, Hvalfjörður, Þingvellir or Reykjanes. Cheers, Inga #TripInIceland 😃💙✌️
  • The stunning waterfall #Svartifoss, surrounded by basalt columns. Located in #Skaftafell, South Iceland. Have you been? What's your favorite waterfall in Iceland? 👏😃 #TripInIceland Cheers, Inga
