#Iceland

Known as the land of ice and fire, Iceland is filled with more than 130 volcanoes, many of which are still active. Some stand tall among the mountains, while others lurk under giant glaciers. Iceland’s volcanic landscapes are as interesting and diverse as they come.

Located in western Iceland, Snæfellsnes (pronounced SNAIY-fell-SNES) and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula are often called "miniature Iceland" because they feature everything that makes Iceland worth visiting. With stunning landscapes and hidden spots to explore, give this volcanic region a visit after reading about its best features.

Stykkishólmur is a close-knit community, and even though its origins go back centuries, it’s a modern town with an energy plan that could pave the way for other Icelandic — and European — communities in the future.

Literally meaning glacial river lagoon, Jokulsarlon Lagoon is an enormous glacial lake situated in Iceland’s southeastern corner.

Arnarfjörður, Iceland, is part of the larger Westfjords region, located in the northwestern corner of the country. Visitors to the majestic Arnarfjörður can therefore enjoy the serenity and beauty of this naturally spectacular region without the crowds.
