Here are some of my favorite Icelandic links, split up between links about Iceland and Iceland photos and photographers.
|
Things Icelandic |
Iceland Tourist Board - www.icetourist.is
Good information on visiting Iceland to include accomodations. Best of it's type I've found.
|
Iceland Youth Hostels - www.hostel.is
The full list of hostels in Iceland with location, price, and dates open.
|
Icelandair - www.icelandair.com
For the people in the U.S. who want to travel to Iceland, Icelandair is the only carrier with direct service. The good
news is that Icelandair is by far the best airline I've ever flown on. Period.
And I've logged much more than my fair share of flying miles. Great people, good airline, and a good web site.
|
Natural History of Iceland - www.iceland-nh.net
The most comprehensive site that I've found dealing with Iceland's flora and fauna. Easy to navigate, good images, and an
outstanding resource. In English and Dutch.
|
Jokulsarlon.is - www.jokulsarlon.is
A web site dealing with Jökulsárlón (or Glacier Lagoon). There's a very significant gallery of pictures from the lagoon
and good information for visitors.
|
Kirkjan.net - www.kirkjan.net
Christianity in Iceland is documented here, with nearly every church captured on film.
This has proven to be an enormously beneficial site for me, especially in helping me get the names of the churches correct.
|
Nordic Adventure Travel - www.nat.is
Another of the comprehensive Iceland travel sites. The strength of this site is in the town-by-town detail that it provides.
|
Samkoma - www.samkoma.com
Easily mistaken at first as just another of the Icelandic mega-index sites, but this one is special. Great resources on
the front page to include a currency converter and a place to chat in Icelandic.
|
iceland.start4all.com - iceland.start4all.com
A great index type site of many things Icelandic. Quickly becoming one of my favorites.
|
The Icelandic Weekly - www.logberg.com
A weekly newspaper from Canada publishing news and features of interest to people of Icelandic
ancestry in both North America and in Iceland.
|
Rec.Travel Library:Iceland - www.travel-library.com
"Personal travelogues, trip reports, and worldwide tourist information" - an exceptionally good and diverse section on Iceland.
|
Icelandic Off-Road Racing - www.4x4.is
One of many sites dealing with LIA Formula Off-Road Racing in Iceland. Info on Schedules, the Pizza 67 Truck and the rest of the
Icelandic drivers and trucks, and many pictures.
