	Route 1 (Iceland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Route 1 or the Ring Road (Icelandic: Þjóðvegur 1, Hringvegur) is a main road in Iceland that runs around the island and connects the different parts of the country together.
		The amount of traffic on the road varies a lot depending on location; in and near Reykjavík it is around 5,000–10,000 vehicles per day but the stretches furthest away from larger towns see fewer than 100 vehicles per day on average.
		It has been an especially popular tour with Icelandic families on summer vacation, but in later years the route is becoming more popular with foreigners who like to either rent a car or bring their own on the ferry to Seyðisfjörður.

		This is route 87 between Lake Mývatn and Húsavik; in the distance is the fjörd Skjálfandi.
		This is a typical example of Icelandic road signage at junctions, here at the junction of route 1 and route 864.
		Route 35 merges into route F35 (a mountain route) at the junction you can see in the distance, where the road to the lower car park at the waterfall Gullfoss branches off to the right.

	Iceland travel guide - Wikitravel
		Iceland [1], a country nominally in Northern Europe, is a large mountainous island in the north Atlantic Ocean, on the fault between Europe and North America.
		Iceland maintains another Norse tradition: the custom of using patronymics rather than surnames (an Icelander's given name is followed by his or her parent's first name (usually the father's) and the suffix -son or -dóttir, e.g.
		Icelandic roads are adequate or at least tolerable if you are driving in populated areas (see this map of paved roads marked red).

	Crossing Iceland
		The two main north-south highland routes, the F821 across Sprengisandur and the F35 over the Kjölur desert, are mostly graded gravel roads, without any special obstacles, but getting rougher in the north.
		For road riders, the excellent Route 1 ring road would make a fabulous tour, but you will be kicking yourself at not being able to head up the dirt roads - like being confined to seeing France using only motorways.
		Iceland may be chilly, expensive and short of pubs - but it is seriously cool bike country.

	Iceland
		One of the natural attractions of Iceland is now Strokkur, another geyser 100 meters south of the old Great Geysir, now dormant, which erupts at regular intervals every 5 minutes or so and its white column of boiling water can reach as high as 20-30 meters.
		The route from the campsite to Svartifoss is one of the most trodden in the park and it takes about an hour to walk to the fall and return to the campsite, a journey well worth taking.
		Known as a popular tourist resort in Iceland, Laugarvatn is a shallow lake, about 2 square km in size, full under its floor of hot springs which heat the lake so that it is warm and suitable for bathing all year round.

	Top of the World
		Because there are but two major highways in Iceland (Route 1, the fabled "Ring Road" which circumnavigates the country, and Route 41, the two-lane highway that runs between the International Airport at Keflavik and Reykjavik), it can truly be said that in Iceland, all roads lead here.
		On the left, the tallest building in the city is the controversial Hallgrimmskirkya, which dominates the city skyline, and may be an example of "old wine" (Iceland's long-standing religious traditions) in a "new bottle" (the modernistic design of the church, with its fluid lines that consciously echo the physiognomy of the countryside).
		It's worth mentioning here that while Route 1 is the major highway, it does not at all resemble our superhighways in the states, nor most large highways in the western world.

		There were more unpaved stretches of Route 1 and one hill was marked 12%, but there weren't as many scary dropoffs into the ocean as the previous day.
		Iceland is miles and miles of scenic wonders connected by roads of varying quality.
		When I first started researching Iceland I thought it might require a snorkel-equipped super SUV to get around (and I did see a few of those), but it is possible to have an adventure in a little VW, driving around the Ring Road from hotel to hotel.

	An Icelandic tour by Tom Gibb
		From Akranes Route 1 (also known as the "Ring Road") was gently rolling for the rest of the day.
		Route 1 is a well maintained two lane road without a lot of room for bicyclers.
		With the low crime rate, the substantial politeness of the Icelanders, and the widespread knowledge of English it made an ideal country for this inexperienced international traveler to "cut his teeth" on.

	Iceland Trip 2004
		The Icelanders are fiercely protective of the purity of their language, devising Icelandic words for computer, cell phone, and other scientific and technical things rather than borrowing.
		We headed down route 752, a one-lane dirt road on which we could average 70 km/h, then onto a gravel road, then onto a road through a stream bed made from rocks from 2-6 inches in diameter on which we could average 30 km/h.
		We went a little farther down route 1 and onto route 704, where the road was marked "maintained: gravel or earth" all the way (on our expensive 3-volume 250,000:1 map).

		The Ring road surrounding Iceland (Route 1) is asphalt, along with many other popular roads.
		However all mountain roads and a lot of roads in the interior of Iceland have a surface of loose gravel.
		The surface on the gravel roads is quite often loose, especially along the sides of the roads, so one should drive carefully and slow down whenever approaching an on-coming car.

		Route 1 around the country is a reasonably good road (most of the time), but all the mountain roads and the roads in the interiour have grave surface and are not suitable for fast driving.
		Also all over Iceland sheep are kept in open space and they somehow have this instinct to cross the road when they hear a car coming.

		As you travel east along Route 1 (main drag) in Iceland you start to notice the incredible number of roadside waterfalls.
		Set back about ¼ mile from Route 1 in the southern section of Iceland, Skógafoss (foss = waterfall) is 62m high and legend has it there’s a treasure buried behind the falls.
