Seeing Aurora Borealis should be on everyones #bucketlist, it is one of the craziest phenomena I have ever witnessed. Visiting Iceland you have a window of time to see the #northernlights dance across the sky, out of our 10 day trip we were lucky enough to see them in their full glory on the last night. This campsite was a great place to stay and explore the nearby areas while watching the lights. #lifeatexpediagroup

Popular day trips from Akranes

This beautiful waterfall is a hard climb but so worth the beauty at the top. Biggest tip i can advise is always bring some water and snacks because the elevation is high and the lack of civilization makes it difficult to get more water. #LifeAtExpediagroup
