Tips from the community
Few countries on the globe can boast such raw and rugged nature as Iceland. One fine example of what’s on offer in the Land of Fire and Ice comes in the form of the Vatnajökull National Park. It starts on the coast, where a glassy lagoon is topped by mighty icebergs. Further inland, you can venture to the cascades of Svartifoss falls, which roll over chiselled lava columns. Beyond that are creaking glaciers and geothermal geysers that spurt from the slopes of the Kverkfjöll Mountains.
