Velkomin á Íslandi! Iceland - a country born from the flames, predestined for adventurers. While the majority of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavik, travelers are attracted to the nature of the Nordic island state. Fire and ice formed this Viking land; therefore, the landscape crisscrosses with glaciers, geysers, thermal springs, and lava fields. You can admire thunderous waterfalls in numerous national parks, and active volcanoes testify to the strength that the earth possesses.
The summer sun shines for 21 hours a day. It’s the perfect season to go whale watching on the surrounding oceans or experience numerous cultural events that draw out the locals onto the streets and out to sea. During the dark winter months, the spectacular phenomenon visitors cannot miss are the northern lights. Head out into the snow in your warmest clothes and experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The largest volcanic island in the world will take your breath away as you check off more things on your bucket list!
