ICELAND<br />
Things to Do<br />
Known for<br />
its dramatic<br />
landscapes and<br />
amazing natural<br />
beauty, Iceland<br />
maybe the most<br />
sparsely populated<br />
country in Europe<br />
but it has an abundance<br />
of wonders<br />
– both natural and<br />
man-made.<br />
Whether you are a fan of waterfalls or beaches, this<br />
country has it all. The stunning vistas and dramatic<br />
landscape has brought more and more avid travelers from<br />
around the world to this amazing destination. There is<br />
nothing that this much sought after <strong>European</strong> spot cannot<br />
offer, whether you are a nature lover or not, prepare to be<br />
blown away by Iceland.<br />
The reason for this is simple – it has something to<br />
offer to every tourist. If you love adventures, there are<br />
numerous active volcanoes across the country including<br />
the Eyjafjallajökull and hundreds of trekking trails with<br />
vast hinterlands waiting to be explored. Moreover, you<br />
can find geysers, black sand beaches and can even see<br />
the continental plates pulling away from each other. What<br />
makes this country even more unique is that it has had<br />
no standing army since 1869. With such a wide range<br />
of natural marvels, Iceland definitely has to be on your<br />
bucket list.<br />
Whale Watching<br />
The location of this island makes it possible to spot whales in the cold waters of the coast<br />
during the summer months. With over 20 species of whales to be spotted, nature lovers<br />
have a great chance to be up close and personal with these mammoth creatures in their<br />
natural habitat. You can easily take a whale watching tour from Reykjavik and head out<br />
into the deep blue with other enthusiasts. The best time to spot whales is between April<br />
and September.<br />
