Frostastaðavatn is a lake in the Highlands of Iceland, not far from the famous mountains of Landmannalaugar and the volcano Hekla. Frostastaðavatn is Icelandic for "lake of the frosty place". No frost there in early September, but I can only imagine what it looks like in Winter! Anyone going to Landmannalaugar should definitely make a stop here. The views here and near this location are stunning and otherworldly!

Drone shot of awesome Sigöldugljúfur - Valley of tears in Iceland. You need to get proper 4x4 car to get there but its really worth it. Not to mention that there will not be a lot of tourists or probably none at all so you can enjoy raw #nature at peace :)

Wow. Iceland is something else. We arrived today and the wind was insane. It took me several tries to capture an image here, due to my camera blowing! We were originally trying to get to Landmannalauger but it was closed due to the bad weather. Luckily, Iceland has so much beauty that it didn’t take long to find a spot to take some photos! #iceland #waterfalls #coldweather #greatoutdoors
