#Iceland

Thingvellir National Park is located just 28 miles northeast of Reykjavik along Iceland’s popular Golden Circle route.

If your list for wanted vacation experiences involves volcanoes and lava fields, hot springs, geysers, glaciers and waterfalls, there is really just one place on earth you can to go. Welcome to Iceland.

There are more than 10,000 waterfalls in Iceland due to the number of glaciers and the amount of rain and snow the country receives each year. One of the most impressive is the Godafoss Waterfall. Godafoss translates as "the waterfall of the gods". It may not be the country's largest, highest, or oldest waterfall, but its crystal blue hues and legends make it one of the most famous.

Iceland is renowned for its fishing villages, and Siglufjördur is one of the best. With a population of only 1,300, the town boasts an idyllic harbor, which, like those of similar towns, thrives due to the fishing industry.

Meaning "Smoky Bay" in Icelandic, Reykjavik has a population of just 200,000. While that means that it just about qualifies as a city, you won’t be short on fantastic things to do in Reykjavik — even on a tight schedule.

Húsavík is a small town that looks out over Skjálfandi Bay on Iceland’s northern coast. It has gained international fame as one of the world's best places to see whales.
