Hello everyone, I will arrive in Reykjavik on the 20th and pick up the car in the afternoon. I will leave on the 30th. I really want to go to the Maelifell Volcano mountain road, but I am alone and driving. I would like to ask if there are any friends who can go in this time period and let me follow along. Thank you everyone ?

Be careful over there. The volcanic sand is very soft after being soaked by water and the car will get stuck. It is best to rent a Super Jeep to go down that road. High-end business off-road vehicles cannot cross the river.

F26 has been given up, thank you all, but we still have to go the No. 1 highway. Leave from the Glacier Lake at noon and stay in Husavik at night. I also admit to walking at night. Unfortunately, there is no time. I want to experience the interior highway on the last day, from Akureyri to the Golden Waterfall and Geysir on F35, and stay in Reykjavik at night. I just don't know if F35 will still be open at that time ? Iceland Q&A

Friends around the island, have you honked your car horn? On the sixth day of the island tour, I had never honked the horn before. Today, in the eastern mountain area, there was a mountain turn that couldn't see the car on the other side, so I wanted to honk the horn to remind them, but I found that no matter how I pressed the horn, it didn't make a sound. I'm not sure if I should contact the car dealership to change the car, considering that I've already traveled so far. I didn't hear any cars honking on the road before, and the previous roads were all easy to drive. I wonder what the road conditions will be like later. Will everyone use the car horn when driving around the island ? Iceland Q&A

I was following a local photographer from Reykjavik to Vik in Iceland, and she was driving at over 100 km/h the whole way. I asked her if there were any problems, and she said that there were no speed cameras in Iceland, only police officers hiding in the bushes on some busy roads! When we entered some towns, she was also driving at a speed of over 70 km/h past the speed cameras! At the time, I was also very worried! Later on, I found that there were two types of speed cameras. One type only measured the speed, and the other type had two flashing lights on top of it. I guessed that the first type did not take pictures! Everyone can refer to this! I was driving at a speed of 100-110 km/h the whole way, and there were still many cars that passed me! On the three-digit sections, driving at 30 km/h and avoiding large stones was not a problem! The regular ring road route has no place that only SUVs can pass! As long as you don't have a tire burst, any car can go! The above is just personal advice! Everyone should decide according to their own situation! If there are more people, it's better to rent a larger car. The average cost per person won't be much different ? Iceland Q&A

Thank you for the reminder, it's really good advice, thank you! I'm flying in from Oslo and have been traveling in Norway before. I have a 4-night itinerary in Iceland, planning to fly in at noon and stay in Vik that night, then visit the black sand beach in the morning of the second day and go glacier hiking in the afternoon, staying at a hotel near Jokulsarlon glacier that night, visiting the ice lake and ice beach on the third day and driving back, passing through Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss along the way, staying at Selfoss that night, sightseeing in Reykjavik city and visiting the Blue Lagoon on the fourth day, staying near the airport that night, and taking an early morning flight to Stockholm on the fifth day. If I don't have time to see the attractions of the Golden Circle on the first day, is it possible to fit them in on the fourth day, or should I only choose one or two attractions of the Golden Circle, or give them up altogether? Thank you for your guidance, I really appreciate it ? Iceland Q&A

I've been in Iceland for three days. I've used my credit card to pay for groceries at the supermarket, at the hotel, and to buy a local phone card. But no one has asked me to enter a password or sign anything. My credit card is from CMB and the gas station didn't ask me to enter a password because I bought a gas card. I'm not sure why ?
