Yep it’s true - Icelanders throw pufflings off o Yep it’s true - Icelanders throw pufflings off of cliffs! 😳 Every year the Atlantic Puffin makes their migration back out to sea after a season of nesting on the cliffsides around Iceland. …but baby puffins can’t resist the dazzling city lights. They end up trapped in neighborhoods, unable to fly away by themselves. That’s when the ‘Puffin Patrol’ springs into action! Icelanders come together to rescue these little wanderers by gathering them into boxes, heading to the nearest cliff, and tossing them off to rejoin their colony! This is such a heartwarming thing to experience and we had a great time being a part of this annual tradition 💚🐧 . . . . . #icelandadventure #icelandicadventures #traveliniceland #everydayiceland #discovericeland #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceland #iceland #icelandtrip #icelandvlogger #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #icelandic #absoluteiceland

September is one of my FAVORITE months in Iceland! September is one of my FAVORITE months in Iceland! 💃 So if you’re visiting this month, you’re in for a serious treat. There are SO many incredible things to take advantage of during September in Iceland, but these 4 are some of my top picks. From Aurora hunting to exploring the Highlands before the F-Roads shut down, SWIPE 👉🏼 for my go-to September activities. Another bonus? Mid-to-late September is considered “shoulder season” meaning you get the best of both worlds… The weather is still pretty nice - but there’s fewer crowds than high-season months like July and August. Would you visit Iceland during this magical month? ✨ Let me know in the comments 👇🏼 . . . . . #reykjaviklife #icelandplanning #icelandadvice #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceand #iceland #icelandtrip #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandroadtrip #icelandic #absoluteiceland #reykjavík #reykjavikiceland #icelandicadventures #traveliniceland
