Getting around

An open road in Iceland.

The Icelandic road system is extensive and easy to navigate. Highway Route 1, commonly known as the Ring Road, is the most traveled road around Iceland. Driving in Iceland differs significantly from anywhere else because of a mix of gravel, snowy, windy, icy road conditions, and many mountain passes. However, the main challenge may be how easily distracted drivers are by the stunning landscape.
