The coach eases out of Reykjavík before dawn, headlights cutting a pale path across black sand and early fog. Windows fog at the edges as the landscape opens to low, folded mountains, rivers that dare the road to cross them and lava fields that look like petrified ocean. Over 17 days this loop stitches the classic Golden Circle with the remote drama of the Westfjords—glacier lagoons that drift with blue ice, seabird cliffs that roar like a crowd, and steaming geothermal pools that hand you a hot towel when the Atlantic wind bites.
