Birdwatching<br />
Iceland is truly a paradise for bird watchers.<br />
Not only is it home to the largest population<br />
of Atlantic Puffins on earth but there are<br />
many other rare bird species that you can find<br />
here including the Razorbill and Fulmar. The<br />
birds can be spotted in abundance across<br />
the country in special bird watching day<br />
trips. Moreover, you could head over to the<br />
Westman Islands where it is estimated that<br />
more than 4 million puffins nest.<br />
Hiking<br />
Iceland truly is an amazing destination<br />
for all those who love to hike. Vast<br />
open lands with rugged terrain make<br />

natural scenery along with it only<br />

thrillseekers. One of the most popular<br />
trails is the Laugavegur trail that is<br />
not just scenic but also has numerous<br />
hot springs, glaciers and mountains<br />
around to leave you in awe of the<br />
beauty of nature.<br />

With 4500 square miles of glaciers, Iceland is a great place for those looking to hike on<br />
ice or have some adrenaline rush through the veins by climbing on it. The climate makes<br />
it possible to climb glaciers all round the year and this should be reason enough for the<br />
adventurer in you to head out to places like Snæfellsjökull and Sólheimajökull glaciers<br />
with your gear.<br />
Caving<br />
Ever fancied entering a magma chamber? Iceland is the perfect place for you. Thanks<br />

rock formations that will leave you astounded. The most famous one among all is the<br />
Þríhnúkagígur crater which is a dormant volcano that has a huge cavity and a magma<br />
chamber that is located right at the heart of the volcano! This thrilling experience is unlike<br />
any other and probably Iceland is the only place in the world to experience it!<br />
