First trip to Iceland, second night in a row that the north lights have put on a show.

Taken tonight (October 6, 2026) at Panoramic Glass Lodge West near Borgarnes. I have always wanted to see the northern lights with my own eyes, and I have been blessed to see them on full display 2 nights in a row.

Tonight I watched pillars of light dance around from the comfort of my own(rented) bedroom. Was much more pleasant than freezing my tail off like I did last night. I was nervous that we’d have terrible weather at this lodging since this was the main reason I booked it, but fortunately that gamble paid off in a big way tonight.

Intense aurora tonight. Could see vivid green and red colors without a camera.

Located just west of Vik. Taken around 23:15 local time on 10/5.

Katla vs Vatnajökull ice caves? Oct 2026

I will be in Iceland next week! I have read reviews that Katla isn't that great.. I know the Vatnajökull ice caves just opened, so wondering if either are worth visiting this time of the year?

Thanks in advance!

Made a little film of our Iceland trip, as it actually felt

We did a road trip around Iceland in the summer, and I stitched together some of the videos I took. It's not a guide or itinerary. I just wanted to capture what it actually felt like - the fog, the empty roads, standing next to waterfalls that are way louder and bigger than any photo prepares you for.

Self Care Wash - Reykjavik to Keflavik?

Hey, i want to wash my rental car before returning.

Does anyone know of an N1 station between Reykjavík and the airport, ideally in Keflavík/Reykjanesbær, with a free self-service wash area (hose + brush)? Is it really free to use, and is there anything I should know about how to use it?
Thanks in advance!
