Glaciers and volcanoes, black-sand beaches, hot springs and the northern lights.
Iceland is raw nature on a grand scale: waterfalls around every bend of the Ring Road, glaciers sliding into lagoons of icebergs, steaming lava fields and black-sand beaches pounded by the Atlantic.
Summer brings the midnight sun, puffins and open highland roads; winter brings ice caves, snow and the northern lights dancing overhead. Whenever you go, end the day in a hot spring.
The places our guides insist you shouldn't miss, many of them included in our Iceland tours.
Green curtains of light on clear, dark winter nights.
A 60-metre curtain of water, often with a rainbow.
