About Iceland

On August 12, 2026, Iceland will witness its first total solar eclipse in over 70 years. As the shadow of the moon sweeps across the dramatic cliffs of the Westfjords and the glaciers of Snæfellsnes, the “Midnight Sun” will vanish into a surreal midday darkness. From the best viewing coordinates to essential travel tips, here is everything you need to know to experience this once-in-a-lifetime celestial event in the Land of Fire and Ice.

If you thought you had your Golden Circle itinerary locked in, it’s time to find your eraser. There’s a brand new geothermal superstar in town, and it’s called Laugarás Lagoon. And yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds.

We traveled for 7 days around the east of Iceland and visited 22 amazing places. Check the list here.

Southern Iceland is one of the most popular regions for locals and tourists due to the closeness to the capital Reykjavík. Last year we shared one of our adventures on the south coast of Iceland. This time we visited new and different places also in the Southern Region of Iceland, but just a little bit less popular.
