The splitboard makes places like Skálafell a lot more interesting 🏂

If you’re planning a ski trip to Akureyri, save this:
Drive from Reykjavík, takes about 5 hours 🚙
Stay at @bryggjan_boutiquehotel 🏨
Breakfast at Berlin ☕️
Ski all day at Hlíðarfjall ⛷️
Hot tubs and sauna back at the hotel 🛁

I’ve looked at them through the windshield for years.

Looking for a proper ski cabin up north? ⛷️
Ski touring during the day, straight into the hot tub after.
@svartaborg is just 40 minutes from Akureyri, but it feels far from everything.

The frozen window ❄️ For only a few weeks each winter, some of the glacier lagoons freeze and become walkable.
I’ve returned here every year since 2019 when I first discovered this place.
There are many lagoons like this in Iceland, but only a

For almost a century, Dyrhólaey lighthouse has marked the edge of Iceland’s south coast. It sits about 120 meters above sea level, looking straight out over the Atlantic 🌊
