Overnight roadworks will temporarily close sections of Route 1, Iceland’s main ring road that connects most major photography destinations around the country.
This matters for landscape photographers as Route 1 is the primary access route to iconic locations including waterfalls, glaciers, and coastal viewpoints. Closures could affect travel plans, especially for those planning early morning or late evening shoots, or multi-day ring road photography tours.
- Check exact closure times and affected sections before traveling
- Plan alternative routes or adjust shooting schedules accordingly
- Allow extra travel time for potential delays
- Consider staying overnight near your planned photography locations
- Monitor road conditions at road.is for real-time updates
