Iceland Travel Guide
Iceland is the land of "ice and fire," a contrasting country with dramatic sunlight, humbling glaciers, blossoming valleys, active volcanoes and an exciting capital city. Perhaps it was a misnomer, but although it is close to the Arctic Circle, Iceland is not covered entirely in frosty ice. It is a fantastic summer vacation spot with raging rivers, gushing waterfalls, gorgeous mountain peaks plunging into fertile valleys and an abundance of wildlife.
The natural wonders alone will make your vacation in Iceland feel like you are discovering a whole new world. It's home to Europe's largest glaciers, countless walking and hiking trails through lush wilderness, dramatic fjords, otherworldly volcanic landscapes, spectacular views of the irridescent Aurora Borealis and an abundance of fauna living undisturbed in their natural habitat.
Iceland is full of surprises and variety. Catch a folk festival celebrating the rich Viking heritage one day, and dance the night away to Bjork in a stylish club the next. Spend the day whale watching or rafting down a river, and your night in a chic restaurant eating some of the best gourmet seafood in the world. Shop and stroll through the exciting streets of Reykjavik and climb a volcano where the astronauts practiced for landing on the moon.
Reykjavik could be considered the heart of Iceland, as the coastal capital is home to over half the population. It is a picturesque city, set in a geothermal hot spring surrounded by mountains. It's one of the cleanest cities in the world and an interesting mix of colonial and modern architecture.
