Travel Guide

Frostastaðavatn is a lake in the Highlands of Iceland, not far from the famous mountains of Landmannalaugar and the volcano Hekla. Frostastaðavatn is Icelandic for "lake of the frosty place". No frost there in early September, but I can only imagine what it looks like in Winter! Anyone going to Landmannalaugar should definitely make a stop here. The views here and near this location are stunning and otherworldly!

Drone shot of awesome  Sigöldugljúfur - Valley of tears in Iceland. You need to get proper 4x4 car to get there but its really worth it. Not to mention that there will not be a lot of tourists or probably none at all so you can enjoy raw #nature at peace :)
Magnificent light...
Laugavegur trail to Landmannalaugar. Iceland's highland scenery 🇮🇸  
We took a 4x4 road to Landmannalaugar, got lost in the process and ended up seeing some amazing nature ❤️

I like to be totally honest when I review. This hotel is nice, unique, SUPER friendly staff. I would stay here again. One complaint, charging to use the hot tub :/ I hate being nickel and dimed to death on vacation. The hot tub is small, doesn’t get very hot and they charge to use it even though ...

A really amazing property and possibly my favorite of our week long trip. We were only here one night, but it was perfect. The view was incredible and the space very clean. My only very small and easy to fix complaint was that all the amenities weren’t listed or were unclear. There is nowhere very ...

It is quite remote but if you are lucky could be a good spot to view the lights.
