The second part of our Iceland journey moves through the north of the country and into the rugged Westfjords, where the road feels even more expedition-like and the landscapes become even wilder. We begin near Húsavík, with an optional whale-watching start, then continue past the turf churches of Vidimýrarkirkja and Grafarkirkja, the historic farm at Glambær, the geothermal waters of Grettislaug, the dramatic sea stack Hvítserkur, Kolugljúfur canyon, and the shoreline hot pots of Drangsnes. This is the stage where Iceland reveals its harsher northern character, rich in history, distance, and the raw rhythm of travel.
From there the route dives into the Westfjords through Litlibær, Ísafjörður, Dynjandi, and the hot pools of Arnarfjörður before reaching Patreksfjörður, where the great climax of the expedition awaits: the total solar eclipse. After that extraordinary day, the journey continues past the Garðar BA64 shipwreck, geothermal stops, and across western Iceland toward Snæfellsnes, with highlights including Gerðuberg, Lóndrangar, Djúpalónssandur, Kirkjufellsfoss, Hraunfossar, Deildartunguhver, and Glymur. This is not merely the way back. It is the second movement of the expedition, with the eclipse at its heart and the rest of Iceland unfolding around it like a grand northern saga.
