Iceland, Come for the Northern Lights, stay for the stunning scenery!!!


 

Iceland is truly a land of amazingly diverse natural wonders including scores of majestic waterfalls, incredibly blue glaciers and ice formations, mind boggling geothermal fields and mud pots, fiery volcanoes, eerily strange and fascinating lava formations, and striking black sand beaches standing in contrast to the white waves pounding the shore.

 

It is a beautiful, clean country full of small picturesque villages where the people are proud of their colorful Viking heritage and where significant portions of the modern day population still believes in trolls, gnomes, fairies, and other hidden people.

 

Opportunities abound to view Iceland’s wildlife, including adorable puffins and other birdlife, seals, and whales.  The Icelandic horse, with its unique gait, is a treat not to be missed.

 

Heating and electrical power in Iceland is provided by power plants which harness energy from the geothermal fields.  This power also heats the many spas and lagoons which are staples of Icelandic life.  The Blue Lagoon, outside Reykjavik, is a must have experience when visiting Iceland.
