Iceland (Land of Fire & Ice).

Iceland is a Nordic island nation situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, renowned for its dramatic landscapes shaped by volcanic activity and glaciation. With a population of just over 370,000 people, it combines pristine natural wonders with a rich cultural heritage dating back to Viking settlements in the 9th century. 


Geographic Highlights:

Iceland sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, resulting in constant geothermal activity. Despite its name, only about 11% of the country is covered by glaciers, with the interior highlands featuring volcanic deserts, mountains and glacial rivers.

The Golden Circle: A popular tourist route featuring Pingvellir National Park, the powerful Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir geothermal area

The best time to visit depends on your interests - summer for midnight sun and hiking, winter for northern lights and ice caves.
