Iceland, island country located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Lying on the constantly active geologic border between North America and Europe, Iceland is a land of vivid contrasts of climate, geography, and culture.
Sparkling glaciers, such as Vatna Glacier (Vatnajökull), Europe’s largest, lie across its ruggedly beautiful mountain ranges; abundant hot geysers provide heat for many of the country’s homes and buildings and allow for hothouse agriculture year-round; and the offshore Gulf Stream provides a surprisingly mild climate for what is one of the northernmost inhabited places on the planet.
Iceland, A Nordic Island
Iceland is a country of sharp contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by the summer’s midnight sun. A country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.
TOP THINGS TO DO HERE, THE LIST SEEMS ENDLESS!!!
Relax In The Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon holds the privilege of being Iceland’s most famous spa, because of its healing silica mud, warm and soothing water, charming surrounding and billowing steam stacks.
Visit Lake Mývatn in North Iceland
There’s something of a myth going around that Iceland lacks insects. Whilst that appears true for the most part, a summertime trip to Lake Mývatn, aka. “Fly Lake” quickly admonishes any strong opinion on that matter.
See Dettifoss Waterfall in North Iceland
Dettifoss found in Vatnajökull National Park in the northeast of the country, is Europe’s most powerful waterfall.
Visit the West Fjords
Like Iceland’s far east, the Westfjords is a region less frequented by international guests than the south, southwest and north.
Known for a rich history steeped in folklore,mysticism and magic, the Westfjords is as beautiful as it is culturally fascinating. From the towering bird cliffs of Hornstrandir to the tumbling Dynjandi waterfalls, the Westfjords has something for everybody.
Do the Golden Circle with Snowmobiling or Snorkelling
The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most popular sightseeing route, comprised of three major attractions: Þingvellir National Park, Haukadalur Geothermal Valley and the majestic Gullfoss Waterfall.
Witness the Northern Lights
One of Iceland’s biggest draws are the Northern Lights, otherwise known as the Aurora Borealis, a natural light display that occurs only in the winter and only at the earth’s highest elevations. Dancing in ribbon-like waves of purple, green and gold, this incredible phenomenon must be experienced at least once in a lifetime!
Go Glacier Hiking and Ice Caving
As its name suggests, Iceland is a land that has come to be defined by its frozen landscapes. Whilst many decry Iceland as not being quite frozen enough to warrant the name, this is, in fact, a country of floating icebergs, sweeping glacier tongues and dazzling blue glacier ice caves.
