What surprised us the most was the beauty of Iceland, we knew we were in for a treat, but we didn't realize how amazing the land was until we arrived.
In May Erin Crockett and Connor Jones visited Iceland for nine days. The couple rented a Land Rover to take the Ring Road, budgeting time for some slightly more off-the-beaten-path stops, stopping at many of the different tourist attractions as well as some hidden gems which the couple stumbled upon – mostly by sheer accident. The outcome was this amazing travel video (be sure to hit HD for best quality):
(A list of the locations can be seen below)
Erin told Iceland Insider that their favorite spots were were the many hot springs and geothermal areas they visited:
Some of our favorite memories from traveling around Iceland are simple things like driving at 2am and it still being light out, to stopping every 10 minutes to take a look at the mountains and waterfalls we passed on our way while driving. We really enjoyed camping out of our vehicle and being surrounded by nature the whole time.
The glaciers and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon was the top experience of the trip, she added:
We were amazed by all the moss rocks, mountains, green grass everywhere and then the glaciers of course. They were the most beautiful site to see in Iceland, I've never seen a glacier before and I didn't want to leave the Glacier Lagoon once we got there. They are so amazing white and blue and beautiful pieces of nature. There is nothing quite like it, that was the biggest surprise for me during our trip.
But it wasn't just the landscapes, Erin and Connor also enjoyed the company of the inhabitants:
Another thing I enjoyed about Iceland was the animals, so many sheep and horses everywhere in Iceland and it is so nice to see so the sheep and horses running free because back in Canada we are pretty limited to seeing wildlife. …
We cannot say anything bad about Iceland because we loved it! We enjoyed it so much and would be so happy to come back again and continue exploring the land.
