Oozing volcanoes, thousands of earthquakes, and countless exploding geysers you can set your watch by - it doesn't sound like a coveted vacation destination. However, Iceland is speedily becoming the most recent hot spot for travelers. Just a hop from the U.S.'s East Coast or Western Europe, this wee island country is easier to visit than one would think.
Iceland's attraction is its untamed countryside. considering that most of this rugged island is uninhabitable, this leaves much open space and fresh air to the brave adventurer for exploring. The scenery is forever changing as the shifting continental plates refuse to give this country a moment of rest. Stand in awed before raging waterfalls and frosty glaciers, hike deep volcanic craters and rocky lava fields, even enjoy ice fishing, whale watching, puffin and other sea bird watching, kayaking and jet-boating. Iceland can be positively discovered with the help of local tour associates - the only ask the tourist must reply is if they prefer to go by bus, snowmobile, or gentle Icelandic horse.
Ice Indulgence
Not into roughing it? Iceland will still satisfy - the country is rich in cultural treasures, indulgences, and a serious patron of the arts. Savor a epicurean meal at a world-class restaurant, take in the unique artistic styles at a museum, learn about the tectonic plates and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at a geological center, enjoy one of many musical concerts by local, national, or international talent, or soak your cares away in the steamy Blue Lagoon. The lagoon is probably Iceland's most illustrious destination as an oasis of heat amid its chilly surroundings. Heated by geothermal energy, the intense cloudy blue waters feel almost scalding at times and are chock-full of healthy minerals. Troughs of soft white silica mud sit warm in the water for visitors to slather on - all while enjoying the balmy sunbeams and the crystal clear sky.
Despite its seemingly cold and uninviting name, Iceland boasts a combination of cordial people, consuming traditions, and an unsurpassed landscape. Need to get out?
