I would definitely go back to photograph more of the amazing landscapes but would visit a more remote part of the country to try and get away from the crowds.

Yeah its nuts, although the good news is tourism numbers finally went down, almost 20% from last year. We went from 2010 having about 600,000 visitors to last year near 2.5 million.
The golden circle, southern Iceland are jam packed these days, it takes away from much of the charm for locals as well, but the best kept secret is the western part of Iceland, lots of amazing places to visit and far less tourists.
