Iceland |
|
| The country with the chilly name, Iceland, is one of Europe's hottest destinations. Much of Iceland's popularity is due to its natural features, which include glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, portentous peaks and vast lava deserts. In addition to its expansive landscape, Iceland has a rich history and folklore tradition.

Whether you wish to quietly watch for birds or whales, or prefer to get active and ski, glacier skidoo or horse ride, Iceland amply provides for both. Some places in Iceland are a paradise for birdwatchers. The Westman Islands are known for many kind of seabirds, and are home to both the world's and Iceland’s largest puffin population. Winter skiing is available in many parts of the country. Skiing resorts with cross-country skiing and downhill skiing are found throughout Iceland.
The best time to visit Iceland is between May to early September, as the weather is much more stable during sunny days. The summer months are particularly pleasant because of the continuous daylight. If you go at other times, the temperature and weather can be somewhat unpredictable and constantly changing. Winter is one of the most interesting times to visit, as it provides a whole new perspective on Iceland’s snow covered landscapes and its amazing night skies.
