New lighthouse in Keflavik during the day
Golden Circle road trip in Iceland. Amazing Icelandic landscape. Lupine flowers by road side. Sophisticated rocks in background. Southern Peninsula Region by the Keflavik international airport.
A great bed and breakfast in Keflavic Iceland. About 15 min from the airport and 45 min from Reykjavik. Also near the Blue Lagoon.
#BvSApplication Some nice icelandic cliffs close to the airport. As usual in iceland, the weather can change quite rapidly. Dramatic skies and harsh weather conditions are nothing unusual. #BvSApplication
Nice little refreshing gem if you get on (well off) the right road #AquaTrove
