Heads Up
- 1. Check road.is daily for wind and weather alerts, especially on the South Coast.
- 2. Pre-book Blue Lagoon and glacier tours at least 4 weeks in advance.
- 3. Stay away from the water's edge at Reynisfjara due to dangerous 'sneaker waves'.
- 4. Gas stations are sparse in the West; refill whenever your tank is half empty.
