Scenic Flight Archives - Iceland For 91 Days

Over Vatnajökull and the Westman Islands

It was a beautiful morning when we arrived at the Reyjavík city airport for our third flight into the skies above Iceland. Our trips over the Golden Circle and the Westfjords had been outstanding, and today we'd be soaring over Iceland's four biggest glaciers, the Þórsmörk Valley and the Westman Islands.

Halló Iceland!

Iceland, a small island stranded in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic, was our home for 91 days. The country's 300,000 citizens lay claim to some of Europe's most remote and beautiful terrain. Massive glaciers, simmering volcanoes, geothermal pools, puffin colonies, Viking sagas, whales and nerve-wracking road trips conspired to provide us with an exhilarating summer.
