Visiting Iceland in winter is kind of strange idea. Anyway, it was easy. There are a small airport which in Newburgh, NY. It is very small, 4 gates. 5 flights per day. One of them is going to Reykjavik by Play Air.

30 minutes of drive from home, zero waiting time, 5 hours by plane and you are in Iceland 🙂 During New Year time official day is only 1.5 hours. At the same time sunrises and sunsets are hours long.

And they are magnificent.

You can drive and drive and see them. It is not that cold just may look scary sometimes.

Many scenic roads are closed and there are good reason for it.

But you still can see some of the famous Icelandic waterfalls.

Nights are indeed – long, really really long ….

It was just a few short days during New Year but worth every second.
