Iceland road trip Area C


This part of Iceland is about long drives, changing weather and very concentrated natural highlights. The infrastructure along the Ring Road is generally good, but distances can still feel larger than they look on a map because photo stops, wind and road conditions slow everything down. It is worth planning fewer stops per day and giving the landscape time to work.
