- Reykjavik Day 1, Iceland 9 June 2022 Here we sit in the Hilton Hotel in Reykjavik. It is 9.30 pm and the sun is streaming through the window. The sun is still ominously high in the sky. We have disembarked from the Silver Moon Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | Jun 9, 2022
- Heimaey, Westman Islands, Iceland, Wednesday 8 June 2022 Well Heimaey but unfortuantely Hei didn't. We were scheduled to drop anchor or "hover" using the ship's engines outside the inlet that leads to Heimaey. But this was not to be. The swell and wind were Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | Jun 9, 2022
- Djúpivogur, Iceland Sunday 5 June 2022 Yes, back in Djúpivogur for our second visit. Just as a reminder Djúpivogur is quite a small port town that, like a lot of places on the coast, is basically a fishing village that also has its Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | Jun 6, 2022
- Seyðisfjörður, Saturday 4 June 2022 Yes, we have been here before. On 27th May to be precise and there are two more destinations that are coming up that we have been to before. However, we are pleased to be back again. Seyðisfjörður, Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | Jun 5, 2022
- Húsavík, Iceland, Friday 3 June 2022 Húsavík is the place that the film "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" was set. It was panned by the critics but loved by the audience. It is a simple story of how a couple Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | Jun 4, 2022

- Siglufjörður, Iceland, 1 June 2022 This little town is a gem. It is almost like being in the skifields but at sea level. Snow is still hanging around in all directions. It is sunny and warm, although it is only 10 degrees Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | Jun 2, 2022
- Patreksfjörður, Iceland 31 May 2022 Off again and on our tour of Iceland, clockwise and with a "small" side trip to the Danish archipelago, the Faroe Islands. They are half way between Norway and Iceland. Today we dropped anchor in P Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | May 31, 2022
- Reykjavik, Iceland 30 May 2022 Today is the end of the leg of the cruise that went from Southampton to Reykjavik. So we are in changeover mode, we are staying on and are in "transit". But we have to vacate our cabin Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | May 30, 2022
- Heimaey, Western Islands, Iceland Map note: please ignore the purple lines on the map, they are incorrect, but can't be fixed. Please ignore. Heimaey is actually a small island and the home of about 5,000 people. It is the largest Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | May 30, 2022
- Djúpivogur, Iceland, 28 May 2022 After yesterday's relatively good but cold weather, we expected that today would be much the same or at least no worse. But lo and behold, it turned out to be better, much better. Plus skies and warm Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | May 29, 2022
- Seyðisfjörður, Iceland 27 May 2022 After the roughish crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean, the Silver Moon slid quietly down the fiord in the early hours of the morning to dock at the quayside in Seyðisfjörður. The town itself lo Posted by Jill Forster in A Passage to Iceland | May 28, 2022

- Final morning walk around Reykjavik Our last day in Iceland was sunny and cold, but with less wind. My morning 8.87km took me past parks and icons. [img=https://photos.travellerspoint.com/933508/5C979C Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 11, 2022
- Trying new things, Wonders of Iceland, Botanical GardensLast night, we tried a Pakistani restaurant, ordering Pappadum Nachos and Chicken Tikka with Naan bread. All yummy. This was the Shalimar, not the one with the Victoria Secret pig. [img=https://photos.travellerspoint.com/933508/A8F035AA-A371-40DB-8166-41 Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 10, 2022
- Morning walks in ReykjavikI awoke with the sun (despite the room darkening curtains and staying up late last night) and took a morning 11k walk around the Seltjarnarnes peninsula to see the Grótta Island Lighthouse. Lovely walk, mostly on a dedicated walking path Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 9, 2022
- Grábrókargígar, Krauma, Barnafoss, and back to ReykjavikWe started the day with a hike around the Grábrókargígar (Grábrók crater). Lots of steps! but interesting views. [img=https://photos.travellerspoint.com/933508/EDF91 Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 9, 2022
- Tidbits on Iceland Many of our photos show a relatively barren landscape with few trees. The trees that are there tend to be short and look planted rather than a natural forest. Farmers tend to plant a row or two of Icelandic birch Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 9, 2022
- Whale watching, Siglufjörður, TröllaskagiStarted the day with a whale watching boat tour. We were wearing our thermals and jackets and the snazzy red jumpsuits, but it was still bitter cold. We paced around the deck trying to stay warm, which did help a Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 8, 2022
- Thermal soak, snowy hikeThe thermal baths at Mývatn were lovely and warm, even as the snow fell and stuck to Steve’s bald head. There was even a swim up bar. Námaskarð Reminded us of the sulphur odour and constant steam at Yellowstone. Thermal activity Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 7, 2022
- Mostly driving, snow, and cancelled hikeThe plan was for intermittent driving all day, followed by a 3-hour hike (round trip) to a waterfall. However, the driver had to go slower and adjust the route due to snow conditions. By the time we arrived at our Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 6, 2022
- Glacier lagoon and the crystal ice caveDay 2 of our 6-day tour and pumped about seeing the northern lights last night. It’s was overcast and snowy all day today, so no repeat of that tonight, but we had a good day with a stop at glacier Posted by Deb Godley in Deb Travels the World | Apr 4, 2022
