Iceland

An island of volcanoes and glaciers in the North Atlantic, with unforgettable waterfalls, glacier lagoons, black-sand beaches, northern lights and midnight sun.

Iceland is an island nation in the North Atlantic, just below the Arctic Circle, sitting on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where volcanoes, glaciers, geothermal activity and waterfalls have shaped a strikingly dramatic landscape. Classic itineraries include Reykjavik, the Golden Circle, Vík and its black-sand beach on the south coast, Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and Skaftafell; for a deeper trip, head to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Akureyri and Mývatn in the north, the Eastfjords and the Westfjords. Summer has long daylight hours, ideal for driving the Ring Road and hiking; in winter you can see the northern lights and visit ice caves, though some roads may be closed. The main gateway is Keflavík International Airport.
