It amazes me that i have to be sceptical of these kinds of images right now, due to having an AI brush that can imitate life so well. Fantastic photo non the less

I've been to Iceland a few times. It doesn't feel real at all. Even just the drive from the main airport to Reykjavik is amazing. The Atlantic ocean and picturesque little houses on one side, moss covered broken lava fields and cinder cones on the other.

The hotdog shop on the harbour is excellent too.

I'm going there for the first time in May and every photo on here I see makes me note it down. But I realise I have no chance to see it all in the time we have. Still excited though.

Just got back. I wish you a fantastic adventure. The pictures you take won’t capture what you see with your eyes at all, but that’s okay. Safe travels : )

Thanks! Can't wait. Just met with friends last night who'd been there in August.

One thing to note: heed the weather warnings if you’ll be driving. Iceland is wild and natural. Heavy winds and precipitation are much more dangerous for a multitude of reasons. You’ll be there during the winter. Explore, but do so safely.

May should be nicer though (not winter).

Whoops, forgot the May part! I had to drive through 90 mph winds and snow to get back to the airport so just wanted to extend a warning. I most definitely should not have done it, but I survived so..idk lol. I’ll leave you alone; enjoy your trip !

Iceland is a cheat code for photos. You can't walk 5 steps without tripping over an outrageous display of natural beauty splayed out under an ephemeral duvet of elven mystery

I've been there before and it still feels unbelievable when I look at pictures. I'm saving up to take my kids once they can make the climb up those stairs (it's a haul). My wife and I agreed Disney is overrated (similar price point for us) and our kids will appreciate seeing what beauty our world has to offer vs eating breakfast with some college girl cosplaying Minnie Mouse.
