Iceland Unleashed: Exploring the Top Things to Do in the Land of Fire and Ice

Head out into the wilderness and walk behind the famous waterfall Seljalandsfoss. One of the most iconic spots in Iceland, this waterfall is a symbol for when the island chose to forget about their old Norse religion and embrace Christianity. Perched on the Golden Circle route, the geyser at Geysir is another must-see attraction that erupts occasionally. It is best to see it from a distance though as the volcanoes are dangerous and eruptions can cause ash clouds that can be life-threatening.

Glaciers are all over the country, and a glacier hike is an incredible experience that you can do in several parts of the country. Book a tour to explore the glacier at Vatnajokull National Park, where you can see the massive tongues of Breidamerkurjokull and Jokulsarlon, or visit an ice cave for a truly unique experience.
