Epic 8 Day Northern Iceland Summer Road Trip Itinerary!!

In this video, we will be sharing our full 8-day Northern Iceland itinerary. This will take us to the less popular and more remote corners of the country, but they are no less spectacular. You just need to be prepared for a bit more driving time compared to the southern ring road route. Having said that, the best thing about Iceland is that most of the driving time is an experience on its own.
