Iceland

Fire, ice and the northern lights overhead

What it's famous for

01

Northern lights

On clear winter nights the sky ripples green and violet — chase them just outside any town.

02

Waterfalls & geysers

Gullfoss thunders, Geysir erupts and the Golden Circle packs the greatest hits into one loop.

03

Geothermal spas

Milky-blue lagoons and hot rivers you can soak in while it snows — the Blue Lagoon is only the start.

04

Glaciers & volcanoes

Ice caves, black-sand beaches and lava fields still steaming — the land looks freshly made.
