Photos That Will Make You Want To Visit Iceland!

A mountainous island nation in the north Atlantic Ocean, located between Europe and North America. Though not part of the continental mainland, the country is considered Nordic European. The name of the country—Iceland—may not be that appropriate: although 10% of Iceland is covered by glaciers, it has a surprisingly mild climate and countless geothermal hot-spots and hot springs.

Iceland is a stunningly beautiful place if you enjoy strange and desolate landscapes. The scenery is amazing and everything you could want in a trip. We’ve got a line up of amazing photos below to get anyone excited for a trip to the Land of Fire and Ice!

This spectacular photo was taken at Stakkholtsgja canyon. It was midnight and the auroras were bursting, but stuck in the canyon, the idea came to mind to light the sides of the canyon with the torches for an unbelievable selfie! For more northern lights, cars and nature follow Jonatan Pie on Instagram @r3dmax.

The beautiful Seljalandsfoss Waterfall set within idyllic Icelandic landscape. It’s located right beside Route 1, therefore can be visited on the Ring Road Challenge. Check out more photos from Robert Lukeman on Unsplash @robertlukeman.

A second stunning Northern Lights shot this time taken at Kirkjufell by Joshua Earle. It was his last night in Iceland and seeing the lights is not guranteed but some of the most beautiful things in life happen when we least expect it. There’s nothing like it. Watching green waves ripple above you. curving and twisting as if the sky is dancing for you. It’s moments like these that are worth chasing. Worth working for. Worth waiting for.

It was one of the best Canyons Geoffrey has ever seen. For more follow Geoffrey on Instagram @i_caring.
