1. Admire glittering icebergs

 

– As you go along the southeast, you’ll find breathtaking spots to gaze at the icebergs. Make sure to include The Diamond Beach and the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon in your itinerary. Them being right across each other makes it more convenient for you to absorb the beauty of all of it together. A photographer would die to be there and capture it in his lenses, and one can surely not miss the occasional seals floating around. Chunks of ice on black sand glistening and shining under the bright sun would be seen at the diamond beach. None of it is a sight to be missed.

 

2. Take pictures of icy waterfalls.

 

– Going to Iceland in winter has its own set of perks. It’s literally like a winter wonderland for a photographer. The landscapes are icy, frosty, and shimmery under the sunlight. During the daytime, the blue of the waterfall glistens under the golden light, making all of it look like it’s straight out from a fairy tale.

 

3. Visit the blue lagoon

 

– Okay but how exciting it is to soak in a geothermal swimming pool, surrounded by nature in the middle of winter! Iceland is full of natural hot springs and pools which you can visit to make your time in Iceland even more memorable. Doesn’t matter if it’s the blue lagoon or a local pool in Reykjavik, getting yourself immersed in the warm water as you watch snowflakes land around you, is definitely going to ensure that you have a very good time. You might even catch a glimpse of the marvelous northern lights if lady luck is in your favor.

 

4. In search of the northern lights.

 

– Visiting in between the months of October and March would be a good idea if you want to check out ‘watching the northern lights off your bucket list. These months ensure longer nights and darker skies. Make sure to stay in a place away from any kind of light pollution and has clear skies.
