💡 Good to know
- The supported peninsula road season. Check Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration conditions and national-park notices on the travel date; use only open roads and marked paths.
- This month-only road product is not generated from October through April. Darkness, snow, ice and wind can change road and trail access quickly, so a winter or shoulder-season visit needs a separately dated plan.
