It’s that time of the week when we pick our favourite Iceland Instagrams with the hashtag #GVPics. It often gets heated when we have to decide on which ten to choose as runners-up. But after much consideration and some unarmed combat we came to a decision.

Remember to continue tagging your photograph with the hashtag #GVPics for a chance at becoming the winner of next week’s competition.

So here are the runner-ups:

More and more backpackers are roaming around Iceland.

Congrats, Jorick. Your photograph makes us look at Dettifoss as if it were a painting. There’s a T-shirt and Grapevine goodie bag waiting for you at our office (or coming to you in the mail).

Thanks to all the Instagrammers who participated in this week’s contest! Keep on finding creative ways to capture Iceland’s beauty on your phone, and make sure to follow @RVKgrapevine and use the hashtag #GVpics to compete in next week’s competition.
