These are 20 of my favourite photography locations spread across Iceland. Features a mix of Insta classics and hidden gems.

Day Total

6,820.8 km (4,238.3 mi)

90 hr 46 min

Total route too long to export to Google
Missing data for distance between:
1) Jökulsárlón and Hornbjarg
2) Hornbjarg and Mælifell

This isn’t a 1 day trip - but should just be be an addition to your bucket list for photo stops in Iceland.
