Snaefellsnes Peninsula: Icelanders often associate otherworldly Snæfellsnes with spiritual experiences and folk tales. In this western peninsula you can visit authentic villages, experience dramatic landscapes, and gain real insight into volcanic craters. In the middle of the peninsula sits Snæfellsjökull glacier, the spot where Jules Verne’s central character began his Journey to the Centre of the Earth. 4. Thingvellir National Park: For more than 850 years this area was the meeting place of old Icelandic clans. It’s also where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates drift apart above ground. A place of stunning beauty, it’s possible to walk, dive, and snorkel between the continents. Interested in our exclusive small group Iceland Northern Lights Hunt? February 2025  5. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon: Glacier Lagoon, dotted with crystal-blue icebergs, is said to be one of the greatest wonders of nature in Iceland. The surface is at sea level and seawater flows into the lagoon at high tide. The lagoon is not very wide, but up to 250 meters deep, which makes it the deepest lake in Iceland. Maybe you’ll get to taste the pristine 1000 year old ice, and, if lucky, you might even see some seals. 6. Golden Circle: The Golden Circle combines stunning landmarks and historically significant places in a circular driving tour. Strokkur Geyser erupts every 10 minutes. Gullfoss Waterfall is one of the most photographed spots in all of Iceland. You can even visit a geothermal, sustainable, family-owned farm and enjoy a delicious and hearty lunch in the toasty-warm greenhouse. Don’t want to go it alone? Immerse in Iceland’s intriguing history and culture while exploring this fascinating Land of Fire and Ice.
