Travelling to Iceland means facing vast, desolate landscapes and notoriously unforgiving weather—a raw, surreal world where stunning wilderness and nature’s wild unpredictability greet you at every turn.
Shopping at Icelandic budget supermarkets like Bónus typically costs 1.5 to 2.5 times more than in Japan. With 1 ISK = 1.3 JPY, food in Iceland is undeniably pricey, making self-catering essential for keeping your Iceland travel budget on track.
Purebred for over a thousand years, the sturdy Icelandic horse is famous for its friendly nature and unique smooth gait, the tölt.
Nestled near the Geldingadalir volcano, Nátthagi Valley gained world fame when fresh lava flows dramatically carved through its scenic terrain, offering visitors an unforgettable, up-close look at Iceland’s dynamic earth.
Iceland’s dynamic surface is a striking mosaic of stark black basalt, glowing green moss fields, vast white glaciers, and smoking geothermal zones, reflecting an ever-changing landscape forged directly by volcanic activity.
Carpeted in vibrant green, slow-growing Icelandic moss transforms rugged black lava fields into otherworldly landscapes.
Drifting softly across dark basalt fields, Nátthagi’s ethereal white geothermal steam rises from cooling lava and underground volcanic heat.
Peer inside the cracks of cooled lava to uncover a striking contrast: beneath the weathered, dark gray crust lies a rich interior of glossy obsidian black and rich, oxidized rusty reds.
For around 5,000 ISK, car campsites offer two travelers and one car an unbeatable, affordable way to sleep directly amidst Iceland’s wilderness.
