Iceland

Iceland is a Nordic island nation and is defined by its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. 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 there is unlimited culture. If you want to see just how diverse the landscape and features of Iceland are, all you need to do is plan a day trip to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It is a twin-peaked glacier that sits over a volcano on the peninsula’s tip, surrounded by lava fields and a coastline on three sides. Sounds amazing right? Iceland’s South Coast is one of its most popular sightseeing areas. While its waterfalls, glaciers and volcanos are beautiful, it is the beaches that make it truly unique. Another thing to do in Iceland is enjoy natural treatments at the Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa and possibly Iceland’s most well-known feature. It is rich in minerals and thrives with good bacteria. Another thing to do is to go whale watching in Husavik. There are currently over twenty species of whale, dolphin and porpoise found in Iceland’s waters, making it a top destination for whale watching. An Iceland must see is the Golden Circle. The Golden Circle is one of the most popular sightseeing areas around Iceland. It takes you to the most spectacular features in southwest Iceland: Pingvellir National Park, the Geysir Geothermal Area, Gullfoss Waterfall. Iceland is a beautiful country filled with so much beauty, it is definitely at the top of my list.
