Three Reasons Failure Is a Good Thing

An experience we often try to avoid has important lessons to teach us.
Icelandic culture is rich in unique traditions ☺️ One of them is Bóndadagur, a day to pamper and celebrate "Bóndi," which translates to "farmer." Still, in today's context, it can be understood in broader terms as "the man of the house": a husband, a fiancé, or a boyfriend.
These traditions are believed to bring good luck to the home, so all spouses take on the Bóndadagur challenge with pride!

This incredibly picturesque church is located in @northiceland and it is the oldest turf church in Iceland – Grafarkirkja’s history dates back to the 17th century! 🙌🏻 Interestingly, the wall around the church and the graveyard has a circle shape, which makes the church especially unique.
👉🏻 Note that the church is closed inside to the public in order to preserve it but you can still admire it from the outside 😍 #inspiredbyiceland

The fresh lava field from Fagradalsfjall 🌋
Fagradalsfjall has built up a lava shield that covers an area of about 5 square kilometers since it started erupting in March 2021. Though the eruption is officially over, watching the huge lava field from above via helicopter ride is almost equally impressive 🤩

You’re never short of magnificent sight at Snæfellsnes peninsula, @westiceland 💙 Djupalonssandur is a beautiful pebbled beach, with a series of rocks of mysterious form emerging from the ocean. It is one of the few areas that lead down to the sea along this coast with its high dramatic cliffs.
