Featured Destinations

Husafell Husafell Husafell is a magnificent landscape carved out by both lava and glaciers. Travelers visit Husafell to explore its dense woodlands, drink from its clear mountain springs, bathe in soothing hot springs, hike glacial river trails and study wildlife. Here, travelers can visit some the world’s remarkable natural beauty: Deildartunguhver, the biggest hot spring in the world; Vidgelmir, the biggest lava cave in Iceland; Langjokull, Iceland’s second largest ice cap; or Hraunfossar, 900 meters of lava waterfalls.
Hella Hella Hella is a village in south Iceland, located approximately 60 miles east of Reykjavik. It serves as a base for adventures to the highlands and is a peaceful setting with stunning views all around of the river Ranga and Mount Hekla volcano.
Reykjavik Reykjavik The fire, frost and water symbolized by the red, white and blue of Iceland’s flag are manifested in this land. Reykjavik, or Smoky Bay, was so named in 874 A.D. by Ingolf Arnarson when he sighted the numerous hot springs on the Seltjarnarnes Peninsula. Today this remarkably pollution-free city is wrapped around a sweeping bay and has managed to retain its charming Old-World atmosphere. A pastiche of red-blue-and green-roofed houses together with the tall gray tower of Hallgrim’s Church dominate the skyline. In Old Town, many of the wooden buildings have been lovingly restored and stand side by side with modern timber and concrete structures. There are fine museums and art galleries; historic pubs present activity in late afternoon. The beautiful countryside outside of Reykjavik includes such natural wonders as volcanoes, geysers, glaciers, mountains and spectacular waterfalls.	Destination Guide
