This is your sign to go berry picking in North Iceland🫐

Late summer is prime berry-picking time, with wild blueberries and bilberries waiting to be picked across the countryside. Look for wild berries in heathland, hillsides and around birch woodland.

Local tip: mix your berries with skyr, a splash of cream and a little sugar. A simple Icelandic combo you have to try. 🤌

You’ll probably smell Hverir before you see it🌋

Just outside Lake Mývatn, Hverir is one of Iceland’s most active geothermal areas. Beneath the surface, magma heats underground water, creating the bubbling mud pools and steaming vents that make this landscape so unique.

The striking yellows, reds and whites are created by natural minerals such as sulfur, iron and clay, giving Hverir its otherworldly appearance 🪐

While exploring, be sure to stay on the marked paths. The ground beyond them can be thin, unstable and extremely hot.
