The Most BEAUTIFUL drive! IN DEPTH REVIEW
Ring Road的点评
点评：It is really quite hard to summarise the "Ring Road" of Iceland in words but I'm certainly going to give it a go! One of the first things to mention is that the Ring Road is not fully paved nor does it include ALL of the big sights in Iceland - you will often have to detour from the ring road to see some of these - albeit for the most part they are very worth it.
When you google "how many kilometres is the ring road in Iceland?" you will likely get the answer it is 1332km. In reality by the time we'd driven all of the little side roads and detours we clocked in 2500km!!! This will largely be dependent on what you want to see and when you go to visit as there are parts of the ring road that are not accessible all year round.
On that note...if you are considering driving the ring road there are a couple of key considerations you need to make.
1. Time of Year
The ring road as I mentioned above is not fully accessible at all times of year and this needs to be considered before simply booking. It is also worth noting that due to weather you could wake up one morning and find a section of the road closed so when thinking about hotels etc you need to be flexible when booking on the shoulder seasons.
2. Sights and Activities
If you are considering the ring road I would first detail out what you want to see and where it is, that way you can evaluate if driving the full loop or only part of it is the best option. The south and south-east coast offer some of the typical "highlights of Iceland" and are the "busiest" areas to visit due to the accessibility and proximity of the sights to the road. On this part of the ring road the surface is also mostly tarmac and smooth sailing.
3. Driver confidence
As with anywhere in Iceland the weather can change at the blink of an eye, even more so when you get up the east coast and into the north. We visited in August 2024 and had beautiful sunshine on the south-east coast but a day later driving up the east towards Lake Myvatn we had snow driving over mountain roads...in AUGUST!
4. Preparation
It really can't be stressed enough but preparation will be key to a decent road trip in Iceland. There are 2 applications that should be downloaded and checked before each driving stint that of SafeTravel.Is and the more local Vedur app. These cover road closures, eruption updates and key information. The Vedur app is better for more local weather and road information updates. Another thing to make sure of is that you have a couple of bank cards specifically for fuelling the car. We used both Credit and Debit cards whilst out in Iceland of which were Mastercard and didn't have any issues.
-----------A HUGE TIP-----------
When fuelling the car do not, I repeat DO NOT use the "Fill Tank" option as this will put a huge hold on the card of around £100-200. Instead use the preselected Krona options and either use the largest number if you need to put a significant amount in or a smaller number if you're just topping up - you will only pay for what you use and avoid the large hold.
-----------The Road and Attractions-----------
The South Coast
After picking up your car at Keflavik if you take the counter-clockwise route you will be driving the South coast first. Often the busiest area due to the world famous sights on offer and the close proximity to Reykjavik its no surprise people are keen to see it. Some key sights include:
- Seljalandsfoss
- Skogafoss
- Reynisfjara Beach (Black Sand Beach)
- Solheimajokull Glacier
- Crashed DC-3 Plane
- Dyrhólaey (Great for puffins)
- Vik town
- Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon
- Skaftafell
- Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon & Diamond Beach
The East Coast
Driving further on from Jokulsarlon up the east coast this is where the really "untamed" side of Iceland started to appear. Once you drive past the town of Djúpivogur the option to drive the 939 (shorter route) to Egilsstaðir as opposed to an extra hour or so up the coastal 1 road. The 939 is a mountain pass, very gravelly and plenty of steep drops so be sure to be comfortable if you consider it, we did it but it quickly started to rain and fog rolled in - not fun!
Other key sights include:
- Hofn
- Vestrahorn
- Stokksnes
- Eystrahorn
- Seydisfjordur
- Egilsstaðir
- Hengifoss
The North
So this leg of the drive was probably the most interesting for us, having stayed in the coastal town of Seydisfjordur we then drove through Egilsstaðir and over to Lake Mývatn before finishing the day in Akureyri. This felt like a lot of driving for the single day and would best be broken up to allow for more time to take it all in. The roads from Egilsstaðir to Akureyri go up into the mountains and are truly beautiful. We had a blizzard when driving through this leg and to see the snow covered highlands in August was phenomenal! There are some fantastic and other worldly sights up this way including the rather eggy sulphur rich Mývatn area.
Other sights to include:
- Studlagil Canyon
- Lake Mývatn
- Hverfjall
- Viti Crater
- Dettifoss
- Goddafoss
- Grafarkirkja
- Hvitserkur
The West Coast
When people want to see some of the best of Iceland whilst only staying in Reykjavik they'll often be referred to the Snæfellsnes peninsula on the west coast as it is perfect for a day or two from the city.
- Kirkjufell
- Kirkjufellsfoss
- Snæfellsnes National Park
- Saxholl Crater
- Arnarstapi
- Budakirkja
- Reykjavik
Hopefully the above may prove helpful if you are considering it, if you are and are at a point of 'Yes' or 'No' - just do it! Its the trip of a lifetime and regardless of the weather you get - you won't forget it!

翻译：用文字来概括冰岛的“环城公路”确实非常困难，但我肯定会尝试一下！首先要提到的一点是环城公路并非完全铺砌，也不包括冰岛的所有大景点 - 您经常需要绕道才能看到其中一些景点 - 尽管大多数景点都非常值得一看。
当您在谷歌上搜索“冰岛环城公路有多少公里？”时，您很可能会得到答案是 1332 公里。实际上，当我们驾车行驶完所有小路和绕道时，我们的里程已经达到 2500 公里！！！这在很大程度上取决于您想看什么以及何时去参观，因为环城公路的某些部分并非全年都可通行。
关于这一点...如果您正在考虑驾车行驶环城公路，则需要考虑几个关键因素。
1. 时间
正如我上面提到的，环路并非一年四季都完全畅通，在预订之前需要考虑这一点。还值得注意的是，由于天气原因，您可能会在某天早上醒来时发现一段路封闭了，因此在考虑酒店等时，您需要在平季预订时保持灵活性。
2. 景点和活动
如果您正在考虑环路，我会首先详细说明您想看什么以及它在哪里，这样您就可以评估驾车走完整个环路还是只走一部分是最好的选择。南部和东南海岸提供了一些典型的“冰岛亮点”，并且由于景点与道路的可达性和距离而成为“最繁忙”的游览区域。在环路的这一部分，路面也大多是柏油路，一帆风顺。
3. 驾驶员信心
与冰岛的任何地方一样，天气瞬息万变，当您到达东海岸和北部时更是如此。我们于 2024 年 8 月到访，东南海岸阳光明媚，但一天后我们向东驶向米湖，在山路上却下起了雪……这是 8 月的事！
4. 准备
真的再怎么强调也不为过，但准备工作是冰岛一次体面的公路旅行的关键。每次驾驶前都应该下载并检查 2 个应用程序，即 SafeTravel.Is 和更本地化的 Vedur 应用程序。这些应用程序涵盖道路封闭、火山喷发更新和关键信息。Vedur 应用程序更适合提供更多本地天气和道路信息更新。另一件要确保的事情是你有几张专门用于给汽车加油的银行卡。我们在冰岛使用信用卡和借记卡，其中有万事达卡，没有任何问题。
-----------重要提示-----------
加油时，我再说一遍，不要使用“加满油箱”选项，因为这会占用卡上大约 100-200 英镑的巨额资金。相反，请使用预先选择的克朗选项，如果您需要存入大量资金，请使用最大数字，如果您只是充值，请使用较小的数字 - 您只需支付您使用的金额，避免占用大量资金。
-----------道路和景点-----------
南海岸
在凯夫拉维克取车后，如果您走逆时针路线，您将首先驾车前往南海岸。由于拥有世界著名的景点并且距离雷克雅未克很近，因此这里通常是最繁忙的地区，因此人们渴望参观它也就不足为奇了。一些主要景点包括：
- 塞里雅兰瀑布
- 斯科加瀑布
- 雷尼斯黑沙滩（黑沙滩）
- 索尔黑马冰川
- 坠毁的 DC-3 飞机
- 迪霍拉里（非常适合观赏海鹦）
- 维克镇
- 费亚德拉格鲁夫尔峡谷
- 斯卡夫塔山
- 杰古沙龙冰湖和钻石海滩
东海岸
从杰古沙龙冰湖继续向东海岸行驶，冰岛真正“未驯化”的一面开始显现。经过迪尤皮沃古尔镇后，您可以选择沿 939 号公路（较短的路线）前往埃伊尔斯塔济，而不必沿沿海 1 号公路多行驶一个小时左右。 939 是一条山路，砾石遍布，坡度陡峭，所以如果您要考虑这条路，一定要注意安全。我们这样做了，但很快就下雨了，雾气也滚滚而来——一点也不好玩！
其他主要景点包括：
- 霍芬
- 韦斯特拉霍恩
- 斯托克斯内斯
- 埃斯特拉霍恩
- 塞迪斯菲厄泽
- 埃伊尔斯塔济
- 亨吉瀑布
北部
所以这段路程对我们来说可能是最有趣的，我们住在沿海小镇塞迪斯菲厄泽，然后开车穿过埃伊尔斯塔济，经过米湖，最后在阿库雷里结束了一天的行程。感觉一天要开很多路，最好分开来，留出更多时间欣赏。从埃伊尔斯塔济到阿库雷里的道路一直延伸到山上，风景真的很美。我们开车经过这段路程时遇到了暴风雪，在 8 月看到白雪覆盖的高地真是太棒了！沿途有一些奇妙而又超凡脱俗的景观，包括富含硫磺的米湖地区。
其他景点包括：
- 斯图德拉吉尔峡谷
- 米湖
- 惠尔山
- 维提火山口
- 黛提瀑布
- Goddafoss
- Grafarkirkja
- Hvitserkur
西海岸
当人们想在雷克雅未克逗留期间欣赏冰岛最美的风景时，他们通常会被推荐到西海岸的斯奈山半岛，因为从雷克雅未克出发，这里非常适合一两天的游览。
- Kirkjufell
- Kirkjufellsfoss
- 斯奈山国家公园
- Saxholl 火山口
- Arnarstapi
- Budakirkja
- 雷克雅未克
如果您正在考虑，希望以上内容对您有所帮助，如果您正在考虑并且正处于“是”或“否”的阶段 - 那就去做吧！这是一生难忘的旅行，无论天气如何 - 您都不会忘记！
