We started SkyRoad because we kept watching tourists drive past the most spectacular places in Iceland — not because they didn't care, but because no one had told them what was there. We are mountain guides, search-and-rescue volunteers, and lifelong Icelanders. This is our home. We want you to see it properly.
The team
Four people who between them have spent more time in Iceland's wilderness than most visitors will ever see.
Björn Sigurðsson
Mountain Guide & Co-founder
20 years guiding in the Icelandic highlands. Knows every F-road, every river crossing, and which summit is worth the climb.
Sigríður Magnúsdóttir
Search & Rescue Volunteer & Content Lead
15 years with ICE-SAR. Writes the safety guidance that has kept more than a few visitors out of trouble.
Magnús Björnsson
App Developer & Ring Road Obsessive
Has driven Route 1 forty-seven times. Counting. Builds the tools that make the app actually work when signal disappears.
Helga Þórarinsdóttir
Local Knowledge Editor
Reykjavík born, based in Akureyri. Catches the details that only a local notices — the café that is actually good, the viewpoint with no crowds.

How the app came to be
The SkyRoad app started as an internal tool we built for our own guided tours. When we saw how much it helped our guests avoid road closures and find hidden hot springs, we knew we had to share it. It's free. It works offline. And it knows Iceland better than any general-purpose map.
