About this route

Long drive through the North to Europe's whale-watching capital.Driving conditions on this route are updated every 10 minutes from the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration (Vegagerðin). Weather data comes from the Icelandic Met Office (Vedur.is) and Open-Meteo. In winter (roughly November–April), expect ice, snow, and far shorter daylight hours than shown here in summer - the live conditions above already reflect today's actual state, but budget extra time and check again close to departure.
