Glaciers
Iceland's glaciers are among the world's most spectacular natural wonders, boasting 269 glaciers that include spectacular ice fields, caps and piedmont glaciers.

Visitors looking for more than a quick glance of glaciers should visit during winter, when activities like glacier hiking and exploring ice caves can be experienced. One of the most notable glaciers is Snaefellsjokull Glacier which can be seen from Reykjavik when conditions permit; located within Snaefellsjokull National Park it has gained global recognition due to appearing in Journey to the Center of the Earth novel by Jules Verne.

Visit glacier lagoons such as Jokulsarlon is another way to witness nature's extraordinary sights. An eerie procession of luminescent blue icebergs float through this mesmerizing lagoon before drifting peacefully out to sea - from Breidamerkurjokull Glacier, an offshoot of Vatnajokull Glacier; creating an unforgettable and surreal scene.

Geysers
Iceland is home to an abundance of geysers, from those named Great Geysir and Strokkur to smaller hot springs such as Vellir. Geysers typically erupt every five to 10 minutes at Great Geysir, drawing crowds with each eruption - it even gave its name!

Iceland boasts many geothermal attractions, from bubbling mud pits and steaming fumaroles, to bubbling mud pots and steaming fumaroles - but nothing beats seeing nature first-hand!

Northern Lights
Iceland is a land of fire and ice, boasting majestic glaciers, boiling geysers and stunning waterfalls as well as volcanic landscapes that can be both dramatic and deadly.

Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon on Iceland's Ring Road is truly spectacular, boasting one of its natural marvels - watching icebergs drifting in a lake or lagoon is truly astonishing and will leave visitors speechless.
