Located midway between North America and the continental mainland of Europe, Iceland is a land distinguished by extreme geological contrasts. Widely known as the land of “Fire and Ice’’, it is home to some of the largest glaciers in Europe as well as some of the most active volcanoes. The capital city of Reykjavík is the northernmost capital in the world, and it is among the cleanest, greenest and safest cities of the world, and is home to almost two-thirds of the Icelandic population.

Iceland is an incredible destination, one that absolutely needs to be visited at least once in a lifetime. There is an incredible mix of natural wonders, with active volcanoes, gushing waterfalls, sprouting geysers, natural hot springs, immense glaciers, endless green meadows and some of the most incredible views of the Northern Lights. This is a landscape like no other
