ICELAND Travel and Photography Guide
In this travel and photography guide video, I will show you where and what to see in Iceland. I do so by showing my way to approach different locations in Iceland. I take them one by one in geographical order clockwise around the island. I will stress that this is NOT how you're supposed to do it. This is simply how I would approach Iceland. You are still the sole creator of your tour to Iceland and you have to design your tour with what you want to accomplish in mind.

BEST DAY EVER! ICELAND GLACIER LAGOON - Zodiac Tour Vlog
This may be my best vlog yet - This was the coolest experience ever!! We drove 3 hours from Skogafoss to Glacier Lagoon on a two lane highway through lava fields passing volcanos, black beaches, old river beds, ocean, glaciers, moss, waterfalls (and basically everything else you can imagine that would be beautiful and dope). We decided to book a zodiac tour, I def reccomend booking a tour in advance as it is a far drive and there isn't much else in the area tour wise - so if it's sold out - you might miss your shot! We booked the day before and were able to get on a tour. It was out of this world cool riding in a boat among the icebergs, we saw seals, we drove over some ice - picked some up - got to watch the wall break into the ocean creating a huge wave (which we surfed) and witnessed a glacier flipping!! It was so cool and other worldly, and I'm so glad we got to experience it!! We then drove back and stopped near Vik and Reynisfjara, the black sand beach with the cool rock formations. By the time we got there it was pretty rainy and dark, so we didn't get to stay long - but it was gorgeous!! We took some photos and went home to rest : )

What to do in REYKJAVIK in 1 day! First day of ICELAND Adventure!
A fun exploration of Reykjavik with a ton of fun facts about the capital of Iceland! You can explore almost the whole city in 1 day! From the old part of town with the little Icelandic shops, amazing pastries in Sandholt Bakery, to the modern part with the Harpa concert hall overlooking the ocean and the volcanic landscape - we saw a looooot! And all of it on foot! This city really isn't so big, so you can see a lot in 1 day. If you don't have a lot of time, it is also a great base for day trips around the golden circle.

8 Tips for Landscape Photography in Iceland | Best Travel tips for Iceland
Iceland is a dream destination for most landscape photographers. Together with Andrew Dawes, I share our best tips for improving your landscape photography experience in Iceland, to help you get the most out of your next photography trip.
Check out Andrew's Channel -
We did a video together about taking Drones to Iceland -
1. Know where you are going - It's important to maximise your time while you are there. To do that I recommend a map called International Photographer of Iceland.
2. Work out what the weather is doing - One of the biggest elements that will impact how successful your trip is will be the weather. I used an app called Vedur for iOS.
3. Build flexibility in your plan - Hire a motorhome so you’re not restricted to check in and check out times that could mess with your landscape photography plans.
4. Optimise your shooting time - During summer the days are long and the nights are short and don’t get completely dark. The best time to shoot with the best light was between 10:30pm and 2:00am during which time included the sunset and sunrise.
5. Consider your Lenses - Think about the sorts of landscapes you want to capture. I took my 17-35mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses. If I could only take 2 lenses, I probably leave the 17-35mm lens home.
6. Avoid crowds - Generally, you’ll encounter fewer people in Iceland during winter, however, the weather is more extreme. During summer when the weather is likely to be more pleasant, many locations can be packed with tourists. Scout your locations out during the day but return at night. Find locations that are off the main ring road.
7. Be prepared for bad weather - During winter the weather in Iceland can get fairly intense, so make sure you’re prepared. Even in summer, it can get very cold, and it important if you are going to spend hours at night shooting that you are warm dry and comfortable, so sure you have gloves, beanies and plenty of layers.
8. Get into the high country with a 4WD - While there are lots of locations in easy reach of the main ring road around Iceland, they will be popular. To make the most of your visit, consider getting access to a 4WD (even for part of your time there) so you can access some of the spectacular and unique locations the high country has to offer.

Our Winter Trip to Iceland
We spent a week in Iceland in November 2016 road tripping through this incredible country. We made stops in Reykjavik, Vik, Hofn, Akureyri and Deplar Farm. We saw major waterfalls, the Glacier Lagoon, ice caves, the Northern Lights and so much more.
HOW to visit ICE CAVES in ICELAND, 2019 | 4K
In this episode I'll share all the information I have on Ice Caves in Iceland. How to get to the ice caves and how to photograph the ice caves. Ice cave season is from November until and through March. Out of season the caves are too dangerous to enter. Ice caves and glaciers are extremely dangerous and that's why you have to get yourself a glacier guide.

3 Things I Learned on my Photography Trip to Iceland
My photography trip to Iceland is over and I'm heading home. Here are 3 things I learned.
Check out Ivan and me on Instagram at @IvanThorPhoto and @Brendanvanson
See Gareth ( and Steve ( for more Iceland coverage soon.
Photography online back up:
It's my last Iceland Vlog as Jeff and I are dropping people off at the airport and ending this photography trip.
The Photography trip to Iceland has been amazing. And, all the participants have been incredible.
I learned a lot on this photo trip, too. Yes, I was the guide and instructor, but I think that no matter your position you should always be seeking to grow and learn. This trip was no different.
The three things I learned in Iceland were:
1) Photographers who want to sell their images can't shoot the same locations everyone else does. If you shoot photography at the iconic places only, it's hard to sell the files as there's so much competition. Find new places to shoot.
2) The big difference between making it as a pro photographer and not is finding the time to shoot. You really need to dive in and commit if you want to be a professional photographer.
3) I've been lucky in so many ways. I've never had broken camera gear. I've never lost files. And, I've been pretty careless. So, I need to get better at protecting my gear.
This is the last Iceland Vlog, and I do head back to England at the end of this episode.
The next photography vlog will be from back here in England. So, I hope you stay tuned to the channel for those episodes.

My favorite THINGS TO DO in Iceland::
► Reykjavik & Golden Circle
Iceland's capital city and home to 122,000 people. Reykjavik is the largest city in Iceland and most traveler's jumping off point for the Ring Road and Golden Circle.
The Golden Circle is a popular tourist driving route in southern Iceland, which covers about 300 kilometers looping from Reykjavík into the southern uplands of Iceland and back. There are many Golden Circle tours, but I would recommend doing this with a rental car. Featured attractions include Geysir, Blue Lagoon and Gullfoss waterfall.
One of my favorite things to do in Iceland in this region is the Reykjadalur Hot Springs - A beautiful and unique geothermal river near the town of Hveragerði. It takes about one hour to hike up to the hot springs, so be prepared.
► Central Highlands
► Northern Iceland
Eyjafjörður Fjord - One of the best places in Iceland to see the Northern Lights. Northern Iceland has very little light pollution, so tracking the Northern Lights over the Fjords is a great idea.
Ásbyrgi Canyon - This massive canyon was formed way back after the ice age as melting glacier floods ripped giant divots into the earth and left this beautiful valley and rock walls in its path.
Northern Lights - In order to have the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland, check out this website we used to track the cloud coverage and aurora activity.
Dettifoss Waterfall - Said to be Europe’s most powerful waterfall, and we’re getting a unique perspective - by moonlight.
► Western Iceland & Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Godafoss Waterfall - An expansive horseshoe-shaped cascade that’s probably my favorite waterfall of the entire trip.
► Eastern Iceland
Hverir or Namafjall geothermal field - Located in northeastern Iceland around the geothermal region of Lake Mývatn - a vast area of hot springs, sulfur crystals, and boiling mud pots.
► Southern Iceland
Seljalandsfoss - A popular waterfall in South Iceland, and the only waterfall (that I know of) in Iceland that you can walk behind.
Skogafoss - Massive curtain waterfall with a drop of 60 meters and a width of 25 meters, also in Southern Iceland.
Reynisfjara - Incredible black sand beach near Vik with basalt sea stacks to one side and rock formations jetting out of the ocean. Get here early to really appreciate it.

In the 6th episode of Circling Iceland I sat down after finishing the trip and show you what I packed for those 2 weeks in Iceland. I was traveling in October/November so I needed to prepare for moderate and freezing temperatures at the same time. Therefore this Iceland packing list is suitable for all seasons in most cases but I also point out differences where needed (e.g. in matters of jackets in summer vs. winter).
Traveling Icelands Ring Road is the perfect way to get to know the country on and off the tourist paths. Therefore we took about 2 weeks to get to know Iceland properly by exploring waterfalls, canyons, hot springs, glacier caves, black beaches and of course the stunning coastlines all around the island finishing off in Reykjavik with the countries biggest music festival called „Iceland Airwaves“
We’ll show you which places to visit & our favorite things to do in Iceland in the upcoming videos and how to plan & organize your very own road trip in Iceland. Make sure to subscribe & activate notification to not miss any episode!

We partnered up with a local car rental company called who offer some of the best deals for travelers looking into renting a camper or road trip vehicle. For this the folks at SadCars provided us with a Dacia Duster for the period we did the Ring Road and the Golden Circle route.
