Revisiting Iceland

A few days of solo travel after Greenland allowed me to visit more of Iceland.

When I left Iceland last summer, after a wonderful family trip, I never expected to be returning so soon.  But, I had the opportunity to cruise southern Greenland with Lindblad National Geographic Expeditions, this summer – and that trip began and ended in Reykjavik, capital of Iceland.  I thus found myself back in Reykjavik barely a year later, at the height of the tourist season, with plans to explore the southeast coast (whereas last year we focused on the Golden Circle and the Westfjords).  In a series of posts, I’ll share highlights from a brief exploration of Reykjavik prior to our Greenland cruise; a cruise stop at Kirkufellfoss in western Iceland; and my drive around the Ring Road as far as the Glacier Lagoon (380km), and back past more than a dozen incredible waterfalls.   This first post is a bit of an introduction. Photography was the focus of my trip, so I’ll share many photos. Read on for more!
