A mini roadtrip in Iceland

07 January, 2023

With the pandemic-inspired lockdown of the past few years finally retreating, it was time to start some travel again. This was my first genuine post covid expedition. An overnight road trip on Iceland's west coast in October 2022.

I love Iceland, and it never disappoints. I'm already planning a more extended road trip in March 2023...

I didn't know these people and didn't want to interupt their moment

The road to the Hítarvatn Lake was rather rugged

I love the contrast of the green moss on the dark gray volcanic landscape
