Visit the Volcanic Island of Heat in Winter - Iceland Travel Guide
1. Iceland - Eastfjords - East Iceland (Chapter) Lonely Planet
Iceland’s underrated easterly region doesn’t announce itself as loudly as other parts of the country, preferring subtle charms instead of big-ticket attractions. The Eastfjords is the area’s most wondrous destination - the scenery is particularly spectacular around the northern fjord villages, backed by sheer-sided mountains etched with waterfalls.
2. Iceland - Kirkjubæjarklaustur - Southeast Iceland (Chapter)
The 200km stretch of Ring Road from Kirkjubæjarklaustur to Höfn is truly mind-blowing, transporting you across vast deltas of grey glacial sand, past lost-looking farms, around the toes of craggy mountains, and by glacier tongues and ice-filled lagoons.

4. Iceland - The Westfjords (Chapter) Lonely Planet
Like giant lobster claws snipping away at the Arctic Circle, the Westfjords is where Iceland’s dramatic landscapes come to a riveting climax. Jagged cliffs and sweeping beaches flank the south, while dirt roads snake along the coastline dotted with tiny fishing villages.
