Iceland

A small note on Iceland

One of the most beautiful countries on earth, Iceland, officially known as the Republic of Iceland, is a European island nation located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Iceland is home to the marvels of Mother Nature with icecaps and grinding glaciers, gushing geysers such as Geyser in The Golden Circle, steaming solfataras, volcanic eruptions carved by glaciers, hot springs, infectious landscapes, towering sea-cliffs, raging rivers and glorious waterfalls, a throng of birds and cavorting whales.

The capital of Iceland, Reykjavík, is famous for museums and galleries, cafes and world class restaurants, backed by snow-topped mountains and a wild night life! Be it the spouting whales at Húsavík, white water rafting on Jökulsá-Austari glacial rivers, the town of Ísafjörður in rugged Westfjords, awesome sights of Snæfellsjökull peaks and glaciers, kayaking in the bohemian Eastfjords village of Seyðisfjörður, lake Mývatn teeming with bird life, hot springs, lava flows and volcanoes, hiking in the canyon at the national park of Jökulsárgljúfur which also comprises of Europe’s most powerful waterfall, the fishing village of Siglufjörður, a fine fjord setting in the capital of the North- Akureyri or hot spring filled ice caves at Kverkfjöll, Iceland’s nature is astounding. The best time to visit Iceland is from mid-June to August.

Travellers can go river rafting, hiking, take glacier and boat tours, do fishing, horseback riding, whale watching and swimming in the world’s hottest cool place, Iceland.
