Where most travelers shoot — and where photographers know every angle.
All destinations in Iceland
From mountain villages to island volcanoes — pick where your story happens.
Reykjavík
The world's northernmost capital — corrugated-iron houses in crayon colours, a rocket-ship church and northern lights over the bay.
Blue Lagoon
Milky-blue geothermal water steaming out of a black lava field — Iceland's most recognisable frame, fifty minutes from the city.
Reykjanes Peninsula
A young lava plateau between the airport and the capital — steam vents, a bridge across two continents and surf boiling in a rock cauldron.
Þingvellir
A rift valley where two continents pull apart — basalt walls, glassy water and the field where Vikings held the world's first parliament.
Gullfoss & Geysir
A two-tier waterfall thundering into a canyon and a geyser that erupts on cue every few minutes — the Golden Circle's double act.
Seljalandsfoss
The waterfall you can walk behind — a sixty-metre ribbon with a cave path that frames couples against the falling water.
Skógafoss
A sixty-metre wall of water you can walk right up to — flat black sand in front, a staircase to the lip, and a rainbow on every sunny day.
Vík
Iceland's southernmost village — a red-roofed church above black sand, sea stacks offshore and hillsides purple with lupines in June.
Reynisfjara
The famous black beach — basalt organ pipes, a yawning sea cave and the Reynisdrangar stacks in the surf. Beautiful, and genuinely dangerous.
Jökulsárlón
A lagoon full of blue icebergs calved from Europe's largest glacier, drifting past seals on their way to the sea.
Diamond Beach
Chunks of glacier ice polished clear by the surf, scattered like jewels across black volcanic sand.
Skaftafell
A green oasis under Vatnajökull — glacier tongues within walking distance and a waterfall framed by black basalt columns.
Dyrhólaey
A rock arch big enough to sail a boat through, a lighthouse on the headland above it, and puffins on the cliffs from May to August.
Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon
A two-kilometre serpentine canyon of moss-covered walls near Kirkjubæjarklaustur, with a rim path that ends on a platform above the river.
Landmannalaugar
Rhyolite mountains striped in ochre, pink and green above a lava field and a hot river — the highlands, reachable roughly from late June to September.
Westman Islands
A volcanic archipelago half an hour off the south coast — a town ringed by cliffs, a volcano that nearly buried it, and puffins everywhere in summer.
Kirkjufell
The most photographed mountain in Iceland — an arrowhead peak with its own waterfall for a foreground, made for aurora nights.
Arnarstapi
A hamlet of basalt cliffs and stone arches under the Snæfellsjökull glacier — seabirds, surf and a coastal path made of frames.
Hraunfossar & Húsafell
A kilometre of small waterfalls seeping straight out of a lava field into a turquoise river, with Barnafoss raging through its rock arch just upstream.
Stykkishólmur
Snæfellsnes' harbour town — painted timber houses, a red lighthouse on a basalt island and a bay scattered with more islands than anyone has counted.
Akureyri
The capital of the north at the head of a long fjord — a botanical garden, heart-shaped traffic lights and mountains on both sides of town.
Mývatn
A volcanic lake district of pseudocraters, black lava castles and steaming orange earth — half an hour of driving, four different planets.
Goðafoss
The 'Waterfall of the Gods' — a wide turquoise horseshoe where Iceland's pagan idols were thrown at the conversion, right off the Ring Road.
Húsavík
The whale-watching capital of Europe — a wooden church over a working harbour, oak boats on the bay and mountains across the water.
Dettifoss
Europe's most powerful waterfall — grey glacial water thundering into a canyon in Vatnajökull National Park, with Selfoss a short walk upstream.
Ísafjörður
The capital of the Westfjords on a sandspit between fjord walls — old timber houses, still water and the remotest big landscape in Iceland.
Látrabjarg & Rauðasandur
Europe's western edge — fourteen kilometres of bird cliff, puffins within arm's reach in summer, and a beach of red sand around the corner.
Seyðisfjörður
An artists' village at the end of a deep fjord — a rainbow-painted street leading to a powder-blue church, waterfalls on every slope.
Vestrahorn & Stokksnes
A saw-toothed black mountain over dunes of black sand and a tidal mirror — private land at the end of a gravel road near Höfn.
Stuðlagil Canyon
Ranks of hexagonal basalt columns above a glacier-blue river in east Iceland — a canyon nobody could see until the water upstream was tamed.
Golden Circle
Iceland's easiest big day out — a continental rift, a geyser that erupts every few minutes and a two-tier waterfall on one loop from Reykjavík.
South Coast
Iceland's greatest hits on one road east — waterfalls you can walk behind, black sand and sea stacks, and a lagoon full of drifting icebergs.
Snæfellsnes
Iceland in miniature two hours from Reykjavík — a glacier volcano, black coves, a painted harbour town and the arrowhead peak of Kirkjufell.
North Iceland
A fjord capital, a lake district of lava towers and steam, whales in the bay and a turquoise waterfall — all within an hour of Akureyri.
Westfjords
The corner of Iceland most visitors skip — mirror fjords under seven-hundred-metre walls, Europe's western edge and puffins within arm's reach.
Eastfjords
The far side of the Ring Road — a black massif over mirror sand, a rainbow street at the end of a fjord and a canyon walled in basalt columns.
