ICELAND – A LAND OF NATURAL WONDERS
Vacationing in Iceland is more than a simple getaway – it is a life-enhancing experience. Iceland offers marvelous natural wonders, avant-garde works of art, a comfortable climate, friendly locals and fascinating culture. Changes over the last few years, many of which favor the needs of the modern global traveler, have shaped the new Iceland; while cherished traditions continue to define the island country.
Adventure seekers and outdoor enthusiasts
need not look any further to satiate their thirst for unique excursions, as Iceland offers activities to suit any travel style. The 2010 Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption piqued the interest of travelers from around the world. This volcano continues to impress visitors with its activity, yet is also integral as one of Iceland’s alternative energy resources, providing geothermal heat to Icelanders. For those visitors who enjoy hiking or climbing, Iceland offers excursions to scale glaciers such as Vatnajökull and Sólheimajökull. Iceland also boasts some of the world's most desirable outdoor hot springs including the Lake Myvatn Nature Baths, Laugarvatn’s Gufan bath and the famous Blue
Lagoon, renowned as the foremost medical spa. Thrill-seeking animal lovers are able to experience riding purebred Viking horses, whose bloodline has been preserved since the 9th century. Don’t forget – no journey to Iceland would be complete without viewing the Northern Lights, if you plan to visit between October and March!
Icelandic people enjoy a rich culture, influenced by fine artisan-work and love of natural beauty. The local art scene is constantly evolving, yet Icelandic art somehow connects its audience with the local culture. By simply walking the streets of Reykjavik, visitors are able to absorb the influence of sculptors including Magnús Tómasson and Hulda Hákon, whose pieces address culture, history, politics and culture.
Anytime is a good time to discover Iceland. As Reykjavik mayor, Jón Gnarr, reminds us, “A lot of tourists that visit the country wonder why it is called Iceland, because – despite what the name
might indicate – it isn’t at all cold here. Nowhere in the world has better summers than Iceland.” Whether visitors seek a rejuvenating spa weekend, thrilling adventure or exposure to art and music – Iceland delivers.
