Heads Up
- 1. Check road.is daily for wind and weather alerts, especially in the Eastfjords.
- 2. Pre-booking is mandatory for the Blue Lagoon and highly recommended for glacier tours.
- 3. Gas stations are sparse in the North and East; refill whenever your tank is half empty.
- 4. Off-road driving is strictly illegal and carries heavy fines to protect fragile moss.
