Thrainn's guide really takes the guesswork out of developing your itinerary for a really epic trip. Iceland can be so overwhelming with so many beautiful spots to visit but the way he's detailed locations, timings and even how to structure your photoshoots makes it east to structure and order your locations.

Whilst there's lots of locations on here and you feel you may miss something out, just remember like I did, you can always come back again!

Thanks Thrainn :)

Being born in Iceland and having spent most of my life exploring all corners of the island, Thrainn has accumulated vast knowledge about many of Iceland's most unique spots along with good local insight about the popular classics. With photography and film making always as his lead, he tends to focus on important details like time of day, seasonal differences and lesser known spots, to capture the most special places in the best conditions possible.
