Iceland - Driving North, Hofn To Akureyri

Driving Iceland’s route 1, the ring road around Iceland.

From the little fishing town of Höfn in the south east to Iceland’s second biggest town, Akureyri in the north.

The drive takes you past the twisted coastline of the eastern fjords then a short cut over the Öxi mountain pass and down to the town of Egilsstaðir.

The road from Egilsstaðir to #Dettifoss takes you past a martian looking landscape.

In the alien landscape of Vatnajökull National Park sits the Dettifoss waterfall. It is the most powerful waterfall in Europe.

Next, the geothermal area of Hverir with it boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles.
An impressive spectacle but very very stinky!

Finally arriving at Akureyri on the Eyjafjörður Fjord in the north of #Iceland.

Why does everywhere in Iceland look so perfect? I love the song you picked for this one too. It's a very nice match for the otherwordly landscapes of Iceland.

When you were standing near that big waterfall, I was getting cold, lol. Stark beauty. It's looks fun.

[SallyAkinsOnline]

It looks amazing - that waterfall was massive!!

You're making me long for a trip back to Iceland with these views. I actually stopped by Dettifoss twice since I had to drive back to Akureyri to get a camera after mine crapped out on me. It was just as awesome the second time!

[CarolinMader]

I want to go back so badly. We had an amazing time in April but I'd love to see the island in summer. You've captured some stunning views x

Such beautiful scenery, a lot of variance in the scenery too! Reminded me a little of Yellowstone here in the states.

Fauskasandur looks cool with the fog. Actually, they all look cool with the fog!! the waterfall is amazing!! how did you get soaked? i was expecting the geyser (?) to blow out water.

[Familytravelgo]

Wow we want to go to Iceland so bad! It looks AMAZING! We would love getting soaked by the waterfall but I bet it was cold!

Hofn reminds a lot of some of the places I visited in Ireland, vibrant greenery and just beautiful.... #BucketList

What time of the year was this? Assuming its the summertime I can imagine it would be an alien world to this in the winter.
