Fjörukráin, viking hotel/recreated village, could be interesting for a day trip.
I was told to visit Bæjarins Beztu, which is apparently the most popular street food vendor in Reykjavik, but it's basically just a hot dog vendor, so might be worth avoiding.
If you go down the docks there's a bunch of cool cafes and stuff, i'd recommend the lobster soup at saegreiffin, they also weirdly have liquorice flavoured ice cream which is apparently a speciality.
The Hallgrimskirkja near Eiriksgata is probably also worth a visit. Jakabol too if you're into weights :>

I mainly went to see the northern lights though, so my advice probably sucks and i'm by no means claiming to be an expert.

Thanks, but I'm mainly looking for impressive lanscapes/nature etc.
I didn't mention that bit in my post tho. :)

I love Iceland

All my summers since 20 years ago, in this beautiful country.

Enjoy!

summers in iceland? 4real?

Why not? It's not very far north.

dno, never struck me as a summer destination

.

Das a racis, boss

.

volcanoes? :D

Vulcayes?

You can visit Bobby Fisher's grave near Reykjavik. He was buried in the small churchyard of Laugardælir, just outside of Selfoss.

rasta

btw. iceland, i find they should swap their name with greenland.
That would be more appropriate, describing the landscape of both countries. :)

But then they won't be as cool as...

Look at this green gem

So green.

I can feel it today in my -7°C warm green paradise

winter

Alright, gimme those hints! Or doesn't it matter really as it's awesome quite everywhere?

.

nope, i havn't. :)
thought about it, when watching some viking docu.

get a intense socom like http://oldglorymtb.com/wp-content/uploads/201...n-bike.jpg

and go freeriding

http://www.redbull.com/uk/en/bike/stories/133...-mtb-guide

then down the side of a volcano as fast as you can



there are tours and adventures n shit for biking, most will be lame, so freeride and go anywhere you want, why its called freeride, with bikes that can do 20 feet drops, and 30 gears to do all hills

triple chain guides for the front have come down £100 so they are under £40

http://www.tredz.co.uk/.MRP-XCG-Triple-Chain-...wwodFK0Bxw

they are few and far between so you might have to import depending on your country

stop your chain falling off when going to fast and changing gear, or your rear derailleur bouncing to far forward

I waited two minutes for the guy to fall and he didn't.

same here.

have to wear the redbull rampage helmet to allow falls

Not sure why I thought that I might get helpful information here :D

Love you anyway

most bike holidays supply the bike

http://icebikeadventures.com/

spain has holidays along with alps

if you do the alps or spain and take your own bike, you will want a triple crankset or it will just bore the shit out of you

http://bike-alp.com/
http://www.puremountains.com/galleries/biking-gallery

most of them are just dirt paths that are slopes, and will take 4 hours to go a few miles with just a double crankset

Well thanks for all the bike stuff but I'm not going with a bike. I want to film. SUV and feet it is.

you can still film

omg I can;t breathe

urban freeride, not going to get it if you listen to nerds who wear spandex n shit, or rural freeride, or anything that`s decent on a MTB, except cross country, then they are still are nerds about everything

hit the rocky mountains in nevada when your bored

they would be outraging about iceland holiday, cheese burgers and beer and no spandex if you post it on some lame MTB forum

nerds will shit in their pants over a triple crankset, none of them can even ride a bike, and all too thick to lift weight of the rear shock to clear a extra 1.5 cm, if you actually just want to ride over a boulder

do this place in vegas http://mtbparks.com/Nevada/295-Bootleg-Canyon...tails.html

I know, but no.

get big dog beta prototype they sell them in iceland as coast guard uses them to rescue mangled penguins from cliffs you can adjust them to hold camera drones and they can carry 2 x MTB no problem just be sure add reflective paint for the uv rays or will damage the rubber johnnies

you know you probably can't hire a SUV with a CPC or a truck driving licence

CPC?

EU certificate if you want to drive anything over 7.5tons

if you want to actually go off road in iceland and not just drive around a farmers field, this is a normal 4x4

http://beneaththesurface.me/sites/beneaththes...ps-2_1.jpg

lol, you could drive TO iceland in that

standard 4x4 are only allowed on off road trails with road numbers, proper offroad trails that are like country lanes in all others need a super jeep

its the law or something, without a super jeep you are 5 miles away from a real hill

man fuck super jeeps what about a mega jeep

mega jeeps are just monster trucks, they can`t be used for everyday life and work

hit the ice road truckers with a few super jeeps and no truck would be in a ditch for 3 days

surely a jeep wrangler with big ass tyres will do the trick

it does`nt really matter, super jeeps are netive to iceland and most of them are custom made

buses in iceland look like this

http://mountaineers.is/wp-content/uploads/201...s_bus1.jpg

they do formula off road and drive across water

I still think canada has the best idea for buses

http://www.brewster.ca/brewster_travel/media/...p;ext=.jpg

Or how about a bit of retro look?

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WNRR6xiqx-o/maxresdefault.jpg

Or even propa class and style if you got the cahunes

http://www.viaggiaresempre.it/wp-content/uplo...24x682.jpg

imagine picking up icelanding milfs in that bad boy

goto iceland and they will turn anything into a super jeep, forumla offroad and part time mechanics probably go hand in hand with nothing much else todo in the country

nice

Hello old man

<3
Where are you? What are you doing?

<3

Still working all over the country, but for a new employer and more $$$, moved in with a girl for a few years but it didnt work out so I have more free time : )

I stopped by IRC but couldnt find anyone?? How are you doing, hows life

What month are you going?

If you want to go off the main tourist routes (which basically consist of one motorway going along the entire coast plus a few extra streets) by yourself, it depends much on the weather.

As an example, I wanted to go to Þórsmörk (recommend as one of the most beautiful places by multiple Icelanders) in mid June. It turned out that this is still spring in Iceland so the easy-to-travel road (any 4x4 will do) was closed because of thawing. You could only get there on a different more difficult road with a huge 4x4, a small to medium sized 4x4 wasn't fit for all the river crossing.

Other than that failure, I saw a lot of places on the tourist routes that an Icelander had recommended to me. Most of them were amazing. I can give you the names and my experience of them when I find the time.
