The Ultimate Iceland Guide
My name is Gunnar and I am a photographer from Iceland known as Icelandic Explorer. I've spent the past 9 years traveling all across Iceland, searching for the best photo locations, most beautiful landscape, the best food, coffee and unique places to stay. I have published a book about Iceland called "Stunning Iceland" and I am part of the "Best of Iceland" committee for The Reykjavik Grapevine. I am excited to share my knowledge and passion for travel in Iceland with you!
