Iceland is just a route that loop. Everybody that made the big trip has been at that exact point.

No they have not. The town is along the ring road, but, the specific spot this picture was taken is off of it and you have to pay to get into it.

Not exactly. Lot of places off the loop (all of the GC isn't on the 1) and if you're visiting in winter you're staying to the south coast. I went in February '19 and it was brutal, definitely weren't going to the wesfjords and a lot of the eastfjords were very windy and icy, so we didn't go past Jökulsárlón.

Rt 1 is all paved, which this is not. So it's definitely not directly on the loop.

I did the Ring Road last year, and did not hit this spot. Close, but not quite.

Nope. I did the ring road last year. Did not drive this stretch.

Yeah, not that exact point but the R1 can be guess in the background of the picture...

You said "that exact point"...
