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

It's very close between Vik and Vatnajökull, I remember it took us one to two hours by driving on route 1, because we didn't determine the exact time as we kept stopping and walking in the middle, but it's definitely much closer than 5 hours. Did you mean Vatnajökull Ice Cave ? Iceland Q&A

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 ? Iceland Q&A

Is the flashing sign on Highway 1 indicating the speed limit a speed trap or a warning? I asked Sixt and they were not sure, saying the fine is 10,000 - 50,000 crowns ? Iceland Q&A

Thank you all. I just saw Deti Waterfall on the 826 side. I think it's very spectacular here. The waterfall is better seen in an all-round view. I wonder what the scenery is like on the 864 side. I plan to go to the 864 side, but I may not go to see Deti there again. The main reason is that I can avoid going back, and I will report the road conditions to you all later. ? Iceland Q&A

Could you guys please help? Three of us are going to Iceland in early February for 8-9 days, and plan to visit Vik black sand beach, glacier lagoon, golden circle, grass hat mountain, Reykjavik. We are all "old hands" and of course prefer Road trip. The problem is that we have no experience driving on icy roads, and we are worried that we may not be able to handle the road conditions in bad weather. Could you guys please tell us whether we should give up Road trip? If we don't give up, what safety measures should we take ? 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

Hello everyone. I'm planning to go to the Golden Circle by car. Is it about an hour's drive from the capital to Pingvellir? How long does it take to drive to Geyser and Gullfoss? A friend of mine went to these three places on a tour, then went back to the city center and went to the hot springs again... I feel that the drive is not very far. But now I find that there are suggestions to spend a day at these three scenic spots. I originally planned to go to the hot springs at 4 o'clock in the afternoon... Is it too tight ? Iceland Q&A

41. Do not expect too much comfort in the itinerary above, as the people here are not into that kind of thing. They are all doing business in a practical way. 42. Even for waterproof shoes, if possible, prepare two pairs. 43. The wool sweaters here are said to be extremely warm, but they are made of real materials and can be a bit scratchy to wear. 44. The public security is good, so you can basically rest assured. 45. There are very few people on the road, so don't hesitate to ask for help when needed, and try to lend a hand when someone else needs help. 46. The public restrooms all have toilet paper. Remember to flush it down the toilet after use. For female hygiene products and used tissue, just throw them in the trash can. 47. When taking photos, in addition to a wide-angle lens, remember to bring a telephoto lens and a tripod. You can't predict the scenery around the next corner, or whether you will be able to see the aurora. 48. A selfie stick and a GoPro make a great combination. When climbing a mountain, it's very convenient to have one hand free for taking photos when it's too cold, and the GoPro can also be mounted on the car to shoot video. 49. The sun can be very bright, so remember to wear sunglasses, especially when driving. 50. The weather is changeable, and the weather forecast is constantly changing. Local websites will be more accurate, so wear multiple layers of clothing and be prepared to adjust at any time ? Iceland Q&A
