[This post is part of a series documenting my last trip to Iceland in October 2017. This is the first post and the next post is here.]

In October I visited Iceland for the fourth time — my first trip in the autumn. It was also the first time I traveled the entire ring road around the country, including a side trip to the West Fjords. Because I was traveling alone I carried a satellite transceiver in case I got myself into trouble in an area without cell coverage and needed help. As a side bonus, I was able to record my position every ten minutes (or so) to document where I’d visited. I didn’t realize immediately that I should leave the device sitting on the car’s dashboard to ensure it was getting a good satellite lock, which is why the chart doesn’t show any points at the start of my trip.

I spent a week on this trip, mostly just taking photos. And driving. Lots and lots of driving. I spent more time in the West and North since those were new areas for me, but I did make some stops in the South as well.

Rather than writing one enormous post, I plan to cover each day separately, sharing thoughts and photos along the way.

Proceed to Day 1.
