The Snæfellnes peninsula, @westiceland is full of beautiful gems like the famous Kirkjufell mountain, the Vatnshellir cave or this stunning black church called Buðir church 🖤 This iconic landmark attracts many visitors because of its gorgeous surroundings - mountains and lava fields. It also has a fascinating history: it was first built in 1703, but it rotted down and was rebuilt in 1848. The Buðir church is particularly picturesque in the wintertime, covered in sparkling snow. ❄️

Winter in @northiceland might be cold but seeing the beauty of the aurora makes it all worthwhile 💚
Anyone planning to visit Iceland this winter and catch the northern lights? 🤩
👉 Pro tip: Keep in mind is that although auroras can be seen from dusk till dawn, on average, they most often appear around 11 PM. So, when you are outside chasing auroras, preferably stay out between 10 PM and 1 AM, and you have a better chance of catching them! #inspiredbyiceland ...

Today we celebrate the Day of Icelandic Language! 🇮🇸
This day is also the birthday of a famous Icelandic poet and author Jónas Hallgrímsson 📖 What is interesting about Icelandic is that it does not usually adopt foreign words; instead, new words are created in order to keep the language free of outside influence. Til hamingju með daginn!
