Spring: when the island comes out of its hibernation<\/h2> \t\t

In spring (April-May)<\/strong>, Iceland gradually comes to life. The first migratory birds return to populate the cliffs, newborn lambs dot the meadows with white spots, and the first Arctic flowers color the landscape. It's an interesting alternative for a week in Iceland if you prefer to avoid the summer crowds<\/strong>, but keep in mind that the weather can be quite unpredictable!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some ideas for spring activities:<\/p>\n

\n
• Birdwatching<\/li>\n
• Photography of waterfalls swollen by snowmelt<\/li>\n
• Hiking in the lowlands<\/li>\n
• Exploring ice caves (early spring)<\/li>\n
• Sea outings to see the first whales<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

  Autumn: Nordic Colors Festival<\/h2> \t\t

  The Icelandic autumn (September-October)<\/strong> transforms the tundra into an artist's palette, with its golden and purple hues. The days gradually shorten, offering a unique opportunity to admire the first northern lights while still enjoying pleasant days for a road trip in Iceland. It\u2019s also the time of the r\u00e9ttir, the traditional sheep roundup from the mountains!<\/span><\/p>\n

  Here are our suggestions for autumn:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Watching the first northern lights<\/li>\n
  • Participating in the r\u00e9ttir (traditional sheep gathering)<\/li>\n
  • Road trip on the Ring Road with fewer tourists<\/li>\n
  • Foraging for wild berries<\/li>\n
  • Swimming in hot springs with a more mystical atmosphere<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Winter: the reign of the northern lights<\/h2> \t\t

    Winter in Iceland (November to March)<\/strong> is an extraordinary experience. The landscapes are draped in a pristine blanket of snow, the sky lights up with aurora borealis<\/strong> dances, and the natural hot springs become even more magical! But be careful: with only 4-5 hours of daylight and sometimes tricky road conditions, it's not the best time for a week in Iceland if you want to explore the island in depth.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here are some activity ideas for winter:<\/p>\n

    \n
    • Northern lights hunting<\/li>\n
    • Exploring ice caves<\/li>\n
    • Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing<\/li>\n
    • Swimming in the Blue Lagoon under the snow<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":119,"featured_media":557,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","team-member-fanny-nomads"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/119"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":634,"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419\/revisions\/634"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icen.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
