Before you drive
Local notes from the Færð og Veður team
Dettifossvegur (Route 862) has no regular winter service. Outside summer, check its condition before you go — it may show as not serviced or unknown, and that means it is not being cleared.
Hólasandur (Route 87) between Mývatn and Húsavík is open moorland with limited winter service.
The Ring Road east of Mývatn crosses Mývatnsöræfi, which is high and exposed and can close in storms.
