Nine days circling the entire island on the legendary Route 1 — glacier lagoons studded with electric-blue icebergs, black-sand beaches stacked with basalt columns, thundering waterfalls you can walk behind, and geothermal valleys that steam straight out of the earth. Beyond the Golden Circle, this is the Iceland few tourists see in full. Add whale-watching from Húsavík, a soak in the Mývatn Nature Baths, and remote fishing villages along the East Fjords, and nine days circle the island in full.
