Two years ago I decided to finally take my driver’s license, and as a treat when it’d be all done, I would move to Iceland. This month, I’ve been living on this little island for one year now. Having previously visited and fallen completely in love with nature, I knew that it wouldn’t be possible to live here without a car.
So, after six months, I finally found the right fit and bought my first little four-wheel drive to explore this country properly. I’ve now circled Iceland three times, driven over 20 000 kilometers and experienced a whole lot of sightseeing. Throughout this period, I’ve come to discover that each side of this island is incredibly different, not only nature-wise but also weather-wise.

#1
Snæfellsnes. Finally met one of Iceland’s tiny foxes.

Reykjavik (it’s a bike path, so no need to worry about him). This is the Icelandic spring.
#3
Gljúfrafoss. Hot water cave, a different view.
#4
Ytri Tunga. Definition of puppy dog eyes.
#5
Somewhere in the south. Considered a weed by some, but they’ll improve any photograph with their presence.
#6
2 of many Icelandic horses. Despite my dislike for the flies, they do look good on photo.
#7
Hraunfossar. A fraction of a gorgeous waterfall.
#8
Diamond beach. May not look like it, but this was an insane wave that managed to hit me all the way up to my waist.
#9
Snæfellsnes. Nighttime photography during the summer is my favorite time of the year here.
#10
Snæfellsnes. This little one was completely nonchalant to my presence, only focusing on finding food.

Kirkjufell. You’ve not had the full tourist experience when visiting Snæfellsnes, unless you photograph this mountain from this exact angle.
#12
Vestrahorn. A different perspective of this very famous mountain.
#13
Hvitserkur. During my stay here, I’ve come across more seals than any other animal.

#15
Skógafoss. The power of this waterfall is so impressive, that I had to clean the lens of my camera after every shot.

Westfjords. The popular puffin.
#18
Goðafoss. Another one of my more preferred waterfalls.
