Iceland’s natural wonders create a magical sightseeing
experience in a country filled with geysers, rock formations, hot springs,
waterfalls and active volcanoes. Your gateway to Iceland is
Reykjavik, its misty ambience providing an invigorating feel. Thermal
springs are aplenty! Museums and art galleries are worth checking out, as is the
popular nightlife and don't miss the
shopping in Reykjavik.
There is fabulous scenery in
West Iceland. Dating back some 15 million years, the oldest rock
formations can be found in the West Fjords. The region is great for fishing also
boasts waterfalls, glaciers and fantastic birdlife. Hiking is ideal for enjoying
these wonderful sights. Europe’s largest glacier is in
East Iceland. Vatnajokull is a grand showcase of volcanic activity
underneath massive ice caps with mountain peaks as the backdrop - leaving anyone
in complete awe.
North Iceland is distinct for its spectacular views of the midnight
sun, painting red and gold colours around the region at its finest during
summer. Then, set off for whale-watching tours off Eyjafjörður and Skjálfandi
bay.
Iceland’s other drawcards lie
South. The best waterfalls in the country, Gulfoss (Golden Falls),
never fail to captivate visitors. The world-renowned Geysir continues to attract
tourists to the area. If you’re up for seeing Iceland’s active volcanoes, head a
little farther east towards Mt Hekla and Mt Katla.

Iceland, an island country in Northern Europe with a fascinating culture and an
equally unique landscape. Imagine a place where behemoth glaciers rest side-by-side with active
volcanoes, where hot springs are warmed by the flow of lava deep beneath the
earth, and where trees are so few that the only standing forest is a national
landmark. Imagine a place steeped in Viking history, where myths of trolls turned to
stone by sunlight abound, and where half of the country's population is
concentrated in its Oceanside capital,
Reykjavik. Imagine all of this, and you'll have a small idea what Iceland offers. See it
for yourself and discover the rest of the story.
