The best places to visit in Iceland

Iceland, the country of fire and ice, has risen to prominence as a top holiday destination for thrill-seekers as well as nature enthusiasts seeking something new. Active volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, glaciers, ice fields, and fjords may all be found here, as this sparsely populated country stands atop one of the world's most volcanically active locations, near the edge of the Arctic Circle.

The air is crystal clear, and the harsh, pristine landscapes beckon exploration and unique adventures. One option to see Iceland is on your own with a rental car for a few days to a week, including a trip along the Ring Road, which circles the nation completely. Tours that may take you to the best spots to see the Northern Lights, ATV trekking through lava fields, and day trips from Reykjavik to visit some of Iceland's most breathtaking natural beauty, such as the Blue Lagoon and waterfalls, are another way to plan your journey in Iceland.
