The RING ROAD in Iceland

The Ring Road is the nickname of Route 1, Iceland’s main motorway. This road is a must-do drive for those looking for spectacular scenery. The Ring Road is 1,328 kilometres long (825 miles). Since most of Iceland's interior is uninhabitable wilderness, this highway only goes around the populated coastal areas. The road covers most of the country. It bypasses part of North Iceland, the Westfjords and the SnГ¦fellsnes peninsula. This includes the Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, Dyrhólaey cliffs, and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon.
