    A very interesting church. We took the lift to the top of the tower. Views were amazing, the weather helped as it was a beautiful day. We then came down and went into the church itself.

    Amazing attration with waterfalls but at the time when I visited it was very cold and windy, which made it a bit impossible to enjoy it fully, though it was worth.

    We visited Iceland in October and to get to Jokulsarlon required a 4hr drive, having set off at 6am in the pitch black we made it to the black beach for sunrise. When we finally arrive at the glacial lagoon we were speechless at the sight of it. Diamond beach is fantastic sight on its own however the colour and tranquility of the glaciers floating out to the ocean is something I will never forget!

    I honestly expected this place to be a bit overrated - but as soon as we arrived I immediately understood the hype. This waterfall is absolutely breathtaking and being so close to it is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. This is an absolute must see.

    Brilliant exhibitions in an amazing space, all about Iceland from the flora and fauna, to the Lava and ice. And the views from the roof are amazing.

    Amazing place, which combined with the strength of the winds that are so normal in Iceland, look like silk veils playing with the wind. Iceland is undoubtedly a fascinating country.

    This is a must-see attraction. Every 10 min a 20 m geyser blows in the air. Parking is a couple of hundreds meter away from it

    Awesome experience. Clear cold water. Felt close to the Earth and the majesty of creation. Was scared but I am glad I did it. Could see into a true abyss. We had a lovely excursion. Really memorable.

    A beautiful tribute right off the water. This shining sculpture catches the sunrise and sunset along with the reflection of the water. Worth a view as you walk along the trail, especially at midnight waiting for the northern lights.

    Pretty beach, and some epic views, but the basalt columns were not as grand as expected. The coffee shop next to it is nice too. Be careful of the waves!
