Like where in iceland has the combintion of high aurora activity and good weather? Is it better to see them in the south like around Vik and Hofn or in the north west around reykholar and thos cities? Please answe soon :P thanks

I'm trying to build a realistic itinerary for about 5 and a half days in iceland and want to get a time estimate of places? If we can just pull over to see beautiful waterfalls, great. If not, that has to be figures in. Here is an idea of all the places we want to go in those days: -golden circle (geysir, Gulfoss falls, Thingvellir park) -seljalandsfoss falls -Skogafoss falls -city of Vik (reynisfiara beach, fjadrarglijufur canyon) -Skaftafell park -jokulsaron lagoon -whale watching, blue lagoon, snorkeling silfra Do you think this itinerary is reasonable or is there anything worth skipping?

oh so sorry C ...if it's too much bother then why did you answer ...why is there always someone who has to be rude - BTW, I DID search. I didn't find what I was looking for ...and isn't this one of the reasons for this 'forum'? thanks to the folks who were kind enough to give real answers

I' m going to Iceland from 26 September to 3 October by myself . I have already decided to visit Reykjavik, Southwest Iceland and Southeast Iceland. I am going to Vik influenced by the music video 'Holocene' by Bon Iver in Southwest Iceland and going to join a boat tour in Jokulsarlon in Southwest Iceland. Can you give me any tips about the places I am going and also recommend any other places that are woth visiting in this season?? I wanna see large-scale and magnificent scenery! Also, can you advise about the cost and the time it takes to travel in a cheaper way?? It is so difficult to get information about Iceland in the language of my country. And I really cannot guess how many places I can visit there for 8 days,,, Thank you in advance!

I'm from Iceland, and I'm curious what people know about my country and how they feel about it. myself I dont like it so much, so cold and gray skies never sun on a isolated island. icelandic people are people blanded mostlly whit Celtic and Norwegian ancestors. ( Norwegian vikings stole womens and slaves from Ireland and scotland).
