The Ring Road Video: An Adventure in Iceland

February 14, 2018November 26, 2017

I traveled to Iceland this summer with Julia and Owen to explore the island’s waterfalls, mountain peaks, black sand beaches, glaciers, hot springs, geysers, and quaint villages. We rented a car upon arrival in Iceland and began our adventure on the Ring Road (Þjóðvegur 1). This 827.7 mile highway runs along the circumference of Iceland and connects to many roads that lead towards the island’s interior. On our Ring Road trip, we covered just north of 1,800 miles!

I put together a short video to highlight some of my favorite moments from our Iceland Ring Road adventure. Enjoy!
