About this route

Cross-country route along the South Coast then up through the Kjölur highlands or Ring Road.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.
