Iceland is one of our favorite countries in the world. Visit Iceland now and it just might become one of your favorite places too!
—A Sense Of Seclusion—
A third of the country’s population lives in its capital city, Reykjavik. An hour on Route 1 in any direction and it’s easy to feel like you have an entire country to yourself.
—Horses—
These beautiful animals can be found all over the stunning countryside. They are friendly, if a bit shy. But they will be your best friend if you give them a piece of healthy fruit! Just remember not to call them ponies!
—Northern Lights—
Some of the best light shows on Earth can be found in the Land of Fire and Ice. The displays rank on a scale from 1 to 10. We had just missed a 10 the night before we arrived, but we felt EXTREMELY lucky with our 3 to 5 rated evenings! One can only imagine how beautiful the aurora is when it’s a 10. Just be careful when booking a guided tour: we saw many buses heading back to town before midnight, which is when the real show begins.
—Glaciers and Ice Caves—
Scrambling over a glacier to find the perfect ice cave might seem like a daunting task, but we promise you it’s worth it! Light shines through crystal walls as you explore these natural wonders of the world. The caves change every year, giving avid explorers all the more reason to visit Iceland more than once.
—Waterfalls—
The summer melt from Iceland’s glaciers create some of the most spectacular waterfalls on the planet. No matter where you are in the country, you’re never far from the majesty of their awe-inspiring power.
