Nature rules Iceland, the land of fire (volcanoes) and ice (glaciers). This pint-sized country packs a mighty punch with natural phenomena like shimmering northern lights, glistening glaciers, bubbling hot springs, spouting geysers, and teeming waterfalls. But Iceland also has culture to spare: Reykjavik, the country's compact cosmopolitan capital, punches above its weight with its vibrant arts, dining, and nightlife scenes. From diving into Viking history at the National Museum of Iceland to exploring the Golden Circle, spotting whales and puffins, and enjoying a relaxing dip in the Blue Lagoon, there's plenty to do in Iceland.
