Along the way, you can lounge in a natural hot pool, chase the northern lights or marvel at the thundering cascades of water, bubbling mud pools, steaming fumaroles and glittering icebergs that make up Iceland’s otherworldly landscape. Everywhere you go, the drama and extremes of this beguiling destination unfold around you.
