Active volcanoes. Dancing northern lights. Gushing geysers. Massive glaciers. Thermal hot springs. Thundering waterfalls. Iceland is the ultimate adventure destination. How have you not been here yet? It’s finally time. Start in the northernmost capital in the world. Reykjavik is a hip, modern city. Then start exploring the wild coastline, the sheep-filled countryside, the icy interior, and the peaceful islands. There are plenty of black-sand beaches, small fishing villages, turf-roofed houses, and epic hikes along the way. Just remember to pack layers. Sometimes, the Gulf Stream provides moderate temperatures. Other times, it’ll feel like you’re in the Arctic. Also don’t forget the long, dark winters and the 24-hour daylight during the short summers. If you take advantage of Icelandair’s free stopover program—a great excuse to visit Helsinki, Copenhagen, and even Paris—you can keep returning to discover which season you like best.

North Iceland is home to the Arctic Coast Way (a 550-mile coastal road) and the Diamond Circle (Goðafoss, Mývatn, Dettifoss, Ásbyrgi, and Húsavík). It's filled with rolling farmland, rugged mountains, retreating glaciers, roaring waterfalls, deep canyons, isolated fishing villages, and bubbling hot springs. Akureyri is the largest town outside of the Capital Region. Grímsey straddles the Arctic Circle. Life revolves around the midnight sun and the (nearly) polar night. While nothing is remotely close together. It takes planning and patience to travel around North Iceland. But those with both will be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams.
