Reykjavik

About Reykjavik

Known as the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’, Iceland is unlike anywhere else on the planet. This is a place of almost continually erupting volcanoes, geothermal hot springs billowing with white smoke, whales dancing in the deep fjords and shimmering white glaciers. It’s not hard to see why Iceland regularly hits the headlines and regularly tops people’s bucket lists.

East of Reykjavik you’ll find the Golden Circle, a roughly 185-mile-long loop that’s famous for its unforgettable sights. Highlights include Gullfoss, a spectacular waterfall and frothing canyon; Pingvellier, where tectonic plates meet; and the bubbling landscape of Geysir, where the water erupts more than 100 times per day. Of course, no trip to Iceland would be complete without a northern lights tour, and Iceland’s latitude and lack of light pollution make it one of the best places in the world to witness this phenomenon.
