Join us for Iceland: 2 weeks, 2300 miles, and 3400 images presented by Michael and Mary Peddecord.
The Land of Fire and Ice is rightly on many photographers’ bucket lists. In June 2022, we embarked on a two-week trip that would cover 2290 miles, including the 830-mile Ring Road. Side trips off the Ring Road took us to Gullfoss and Geysir Hot Springs, the Westfjords, Vatnsnes Peninsula, and Lake Myvatn. The ever-changing landscapes and weather conditions provided endless photographic opportunities.
The trip was planned using travel and photography books as well as the internet – especially Google Maps. All lodgings were booked online, including B&Bs, farms, apartments, and small hotels. Driving ourselves allowed us to stop at the unexpected – be it a motorcycle museum, shark museum, or simply the sun breaking through the clouds. Now that we have compiled our lists of dos and don’ts that might be useful for future travels, our one burning question – should we go back in the winter for the Northern Lights?
Following a short presentation, we invite others who have visited Iceland to share their experiences.
