What are the places in Iceland that I have to go?

1. Highway No.1

For travelers, self-driving is the best choice to travel to Iceland, and its "Highway No.1" has become one of Iceland's landmark buildings. This main road connects the most famous natural scenic spots in Iceland, because it forms a big circle, which encircles the whole of Iceland and is called "the road of ice and fire through heaven".

Tips: the best season for self-driving around Iceland is summer. In summer, Iceland has long sunshine and good road conditions. From mid-October to April, there is snow and ice on the road, so it is recommended to rent an SUV or a four-wheel drive.

2. Straw Hat Mountain

Kirkjufell Straw Hat Mountain (also known as "Church Mountain") is located on the Sinai Peninsula. The picturesque waterfall echoes the Straw Hat Mountain, which has become a photographer's favorite and one of Iceland's landmark attractions. It is also an excellent location to shoot the aurora. The walkway near the waterfall is easy to be covered with snow and ice in winter, and it will be very slippery. If you want to take a close look at it, you must pay attention to safety.

Self-driving route: It takes about 2 hours to drive from Reykjavik, and GoogleMaps can enter Kirkjufell to get there accurately. However, it needs to be reminded that there are few parking lots in Caomao Mountain, and it may be necessary to wait for the same number in the peak season.

3. Black Beach

Black Beach is located in the south of Iceland and has been listed as one of the "Top 1 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World" all the year round. The gloomy weather, solemn black sand beaches and fantastic basalt columns, coupled with the roaring white waves, make you wonder whether you are at the end of the world.

Tips: the black beach is just next to vic town, and you can stay in vic town the night before. As the permanent population of Vic town is only 3, the accommodation in the town is very tight, so it is necessary to book as soon as possible. Every year, the waves on the black beach take people away, so you must stay away.

4. Jagushalon Glacier Lake

is called Iceland. Of course, it needs some ice. It takes some luck to see the glacier lake. If you are unlucky, you may find that there are no pieces of "smoothies" floating densely on the lake, and there are no countless "broken ice" scattered on the stone beach. Only a few blue icebergs stand in the middle of the lake.

From the color of ice cubes, we can judge their approximate age, because the older the ice cubes are, the deeper the blue will be. After millions of years of movement, the water molecules inside the ice make the cracks disappear completely, and the ice body becomes extremely hard, which can perfectly reflect the blue of the sky and the water surface.

After years of melting and deposition, the glacial lake in Jiegu Salon has reached a depth of more than 1 meters, and its area is still expanding, which reminds people of the series of works "The Last Iceberg" shot by the famous American photographer Camille Seaman, and recorded the icebergs gradually dying due to the rising temperature.
