Iceland has an amazing diversity of natural features, with glacial waterfalls thundering through canyons, powerful geysers, thermal pools, vast lava fields and bubbling geothermal sites. Snow-capped rhyolite and basalt mountain ranges rise from the landscape, active volcanoes rumble ominously and glaciers rule. Don’t miss the Jökulsárgljúfur National Park, the awesome waterfall Dettifoss, Mývatn and Krafla, Pórsmörk, Skaftafell National Park, and Landmannalaugar. Iceland’s southeast is dominated by Europe’s biggest icecap, Vatnajökull, and its glaciers. The iceberg-filled lagoon Jökulsárlón is a must-see photo stop along the ring road. Other “fire and ice” highlights include the Askja caldera and the ice caves at Kverkfjöll, in the northeastern Interior.

In contrast to the desert-like Interior, Iceland’s rugged coastline is rich in birdlife and the midnight sun means almost continuous daylight in June and July.

The best way to experience Iceland’s natural beauty and sublime wilderness is to get off the bus or out of the car and hike, cycle, ride, swim or raft.

Reykjavik has a growing reputation as a hangout for the young and hip, and it’s justly famous for its nightlife. Enjoy Iceland with Travel 4.
