Stop at Krýsuvík, where steaming vents and bubbling mud pots create a surreal, otherworldly landscape. You can also visit the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates visibly pull apart — a rare sight only possible in a place like Iceland. Your destination is Hveragerði, a charming village nestled in a geothermal valley.

Today, set out to explore some of the most iconic natural wonders along Icelands southern coast. Begin with a visit to Seljalandsfoss, a magical waterfall where you can walk behind the cascading veil of water for an unforgettable perspective. Nearby, discover the thunderous Skógafoss, plunging 60 meters in a perfect curtain of mist and spray. Continue your journey toward the legendary Eyjafjallajökull Glacier, famously known for its 2010 eruption that briefly halted global air travel and reshaped the surrounding landscape.

The nearby area still shows signs of its fiery past, blending dramatic geological history with Icelands raw natural beauty. Make your way to Dyrhólaey, a striking black lava promontory where a massive rock arch rises above the Atlantic Ocean. From here, enjoy panoramic views of the coastline and keep an eye out for nesting seabirds — including the beloved puffins, who flock here during summer. (Please note: Dyrhólaey is typically closed during nesting season, from mid-May to late June.)Overnight in the Vik Area

Continue your journey to witness the dazzling beauty of Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon, one of Icelands crown jewels and a true natural wonder. Located just off Route 1, about 370 km east of Reykjavík, this surreal lagoon is filled with floating icebergs that have calved from the Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier, an outlet of Vatnajökull, Europes largest glacier. Watch in awe as massive blue-white icebergs drift across the icy waters, some eventually carried out to sea — only to be washed ashore again on the nearby Diamond Beach, where they sparkle like gemstones on the black volcanic sands. The lagoon is Icelands deepest lake, reaching depths of up to 250 meters, and its shimmering, ever-changing beauty is a haunting reminder of the islands evolving landscape. After soaking in the glacial magic, return to the charming coastal village of Vík for the evening.Overnight in the Vik Area
