Happy First Day of Summer (Sumardagurinn fyrsti)! 🌞🇮🇸
Icelanders live by the winter and not winter mindset. Rooted in the old Icelandic calendar, where the year was divided into just winter and summer, today marks the start of longer, brighter days ahead.
Save this for inspiration for your next day outside in Iceland, in order through the carousel:
—Icelandic Highlands (only accessible during summer)
—Stuðlagil Canyon, North Iceland
—Seljalandsfoss waterfall at sunset
—Skaftafell National Park
—Black-sand horseback riding in Vík
—Vík village
—Arnarstapi, Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Whether it’s reconnecting with nature on an extended hike or hunting down patches of tulips in the city, it’s time to fuel up on skyr and get outside! 👟
