FILM
ICELAND IN APRIL – EP6 – Motorcycle touring
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This sixth episode follows a motorcycle journey through Iceland in April as the rider completes the final stretch of Ring Road 1 along the country’s north side, heading southeast. A stop at the Mývatn geothermal area, an unhurried sunny day and a return to Egilsstaðir lead towards the journey’s final night in Seyðisfjörður.
About this film
Riding a BMW GS1100, the creator documents the closing part of an Icelandic motorcycle tour. The episode opens with a morning routine before returning to the road, where the route’s final stretch brings the rider southeast along the north side of Iceland. A brief visit to the Mývatn geothermal area is followed by a slower-paced day and a celebratory pizza in Egilsstaðir, identified as the place where the journey began. The ride then continues over the last mountain pass to Seyðisfjörður, where the rider spends the final night before taking a ferry back to Denmark. As episode six of the “Iceland in April” series, the film serves as the journey’s conclusion.
The journey
The route is presented as a closing circuit rather than a new excursion: the rider completes the remaining part of Ring Road 1 and proceeds southeast across Iceland’s north side. Mývatn is a quick stop along the way, while the sunny day is taken at a slower pace. The episode then connects the return to Egilsstaðir with the onward ride over the final mountain pass to Seyðisfjörður. The supplied description does not name additional stops or detail the road surface, traffic or riding conditions, so the focus remains on the sequence of places and the progress towards the ferry journey back to Denmark.
People, places and moments
The story is centred on one rider and the final stages of a motorcycle tour, with the BMW GS1100 as the stated machine. Its place names give the episode a clear geographical arc: Mývatn for a short geothermal-area stop, Egilsstaðir as both the starting point recalled by the rider and a place to mark the near-end of the trip, and Seyðisfjörður for the last overnight stay. The shift from a brief sightseeing stop to a relaxed sunny day and then a final mountain pass gives this closing instalment a measured pace. It ends with the practical next step of travelling by ferry to Denmark, rather than extending the Iceland ride beyond its final night.

- The final stretch of an April motorcycle tour on Iceland’s Ring Road 1.
