Bolafjall
Bolafjall is a high mountain viewpoint above Bolungarvík in the Westfjords, worth considering when clear visibility, road conditions, and enough route margin make the dramatic platform safer and more rewarding.
Westfjords viewpoint · Above Bolungarvík · Cliff-edge platform · Weather-dependent stop
Bolungarvík
Bolungarvík is a northern Westfjords fishing town near Ísafjörður, useful for travelers deciding whether a side trip for harbor life, Ósvör, Bolafjall views, and Hornstrandir access deserves space in a tight Westfjords plan.

Borg á Mýrum
Borg á Mýrum is a historic farm and church site just west of Borgarnes, worth a short stop when Egils saga context matters more than big scenery or a long visitor experience.
West Iceland · Saga church site · 10-25 minutes
Borgarfjörður
Borgarfjörður is a West Iceland fjord and district best used as a flexible Silver Circle-style day, pairing lava waterfalls, geothermal steam, saga history, farm country, and short scenic stops instead of one single headline sight.
West Iceland fjord · Silver Circle · Waterfalls, hot springs, saga culture
Borgarfjörður Eystri
Borgarfjörður Eystri is for travelers who can give the Eastfjords more than a pass-through. Use it for Hafnarhólmi puffins, Bakkagerði village texture, Dyrfjöll hiking access, and a slower Road 94 side trip.

Borgarnes
Borgarnes is a practical West Iceland town for travelers who want a useful Ring Road pause, saga-focused culture stop, Snæfellsnes handoff, or calmer base for nearby Borgarfjörður sights.
West Iceland · Town base · Borgarfjörður · Saga culture
Borgarvirki
Borgarvirki is a basalt volcanic plug and historic fortress site in North Iceland, best added as a short Vatnsnes or Arctic Coast Way stop when the day has room for rougher landscape texture.
Historic basalt stop · Vatnsnes / North Iceland · Short self-drive pause
Botnsvatn Lake
Botnsvatn is a small lake above Húsavík, best for travelers who want a quiet local walk, lake views, birdlife, and a softer counterpoint to whale watching, GeoSea, or Diamond Circle driving.
North Iceland · Húsavík · Quiet lake walk
Breiðafjörður
Breiðafjörður is the island-filled bay between Snæfellsnes and the Westfjords, best for travelers deciding whether a ferry crossing, Flatey stop, wildlife cruise, or slower coastal detour belongs in their route.
Westfjords bay · Ferry and island route · Flatey / birdlife · Westfjords Way
Breiðamerkurjökull
Breiðamerkurjökull is the outlet glacier behind Jökulsárlón in southeast Iceland, worth understanding for the icebergs and glacier scale, but best treated as a view or guided-access planning decision.
South Iceland · South Coast · Outlet glacier · 20-45 minutes
Breiðárlón Glacier Lagoon
Breiðárlón is a quiet glacier lagoon near Jökulsárlón on the southeast South Coast, worth adding when you have flexible time for a wilder glacier view and not just another rushed Ring Road photo stop.
Glacier lagoon · South Coast · Quieter stop
Breiðavík
Breiðavík is a broad golden-sand bay below Látrabjarg in the southern Westfjords, worth adding when your Road 612 day needs a quiet beach pause rather than another major detour.
Golden beach · Westfjords · Near Látrabjarg
Breidavik Bay
Breidavik Bay helps travelers who meet the English name understand the same Breiðavík beach and bay area near Látrabjarg, decide whether it deserves time, and avoid planning it as a second separate attraction.

Breiðbakur
Breiðbakur is a highland mountain ridge and rough viewpoint above Langisjór, useful for travelers deciding whether the remote lake area deserves a demanding 4x4 detour or a longer walking day.
Highlands · Langisjór viewpoint · Remote 4x4 access
Breiðdalsvík
Breiðdalsvík is a tiny Eastfjords village beside a broad bay and Breiðdalur valley, worth adding when your route needs a quiet pause, local texture, or a gentler base between bigger stops.
Tiny Eastfjords village · Breiðdalur gateway · Quiet Ring Road pause
Brennisteinsalda
Brennisteinsalda is a colorful rhyolite mountain hike in Landmannalaugar, best for travelers who can handle Highland access, changing weather, and a moderate trail before committing it to a South Iceland or Highlands route.
Highland hike · Landmannalaugar · Fjallabak
Brimketill Lava Rock Pool
Brimketill is a wave-carved lava rock pool on the Reykjanes coast, worth a short stop for raw Atlantic scenery when surf, wind, road access, and nearby route timing all make sense.
Lava rock pool · Reykjanes coast · Short viewpoint
Brimnesviti Lighthouse
Brimnesviti Lighthouse is a small orange beacon on Brimnes peninsula, best for travelers who want a weather-dependent Seyðisfjörður side walk with fjord views, coastal history, and a quieter Eastfjords edge.
Lighthouse walk · Seyðisfjörður · Eastfjords
Brjánslækur Port
Brjánslækur Port is a small ferry landing most useful for travelers crossing Breiðafjörður or entering the southern Westfjords, helping you decide whether to keep moving, pause briefly, or add the nearby geology and settlement-history layer.
Westfjords ferry landing · Breiðafjörður crossing · Southern Westfjords route hinge
Brúará
Brúará is the blue-water river corridor behind Brúarfoss on the Golden Circle, worth adding when you have walking margin and want a quieter stop, but easy to skip on a rushed first loop.
Blue river stop · Golden Circle · South Iceland
Brúardalir
Brúardalir is a remote group of valleys in the East Highlands, worth considering only when your highland route, vehicle, weather margin, and nearby Askja or Kverkfjöll plans all support the detour.
East Highlands · Remote valleys · Highland route · Access-sensitive
Brúarjökull
Brúarjökull is Vatnajökull’s vast northeastern outlet glacier, best treated as a remote Highlands landscape seen from Snæfell-area viewpoints or specialist trips, not a casual stop unless access and weather line up.
Highlands · Vatnajökull outlet glacier · Remote viewpoint
Brunnhorn
Brunnhorn is the jagged Batman-shaped peak near Höfn, best treated as a shape-and-light photo stop beside Stokksnes rather than a standalone southeast Iceland detour, with the payoff depending on visibility, road timing, and how much space the day still has.
Near Höfn · Batman-shaped peak · Stokksnes pairing · Ring Road eastbound short stop
BSÍ Reykjavík Bus Terminal
BSÍ Reykjavík Bus Terminal is useful when your Iceland plans involve airport transfers, coach tours, luggage timing, local-bus choices, or a practical handoff between downtown Reykjavík and onward transport.
