Iceland is in the North Atlantic close to the Arctic Circle. Its volcanic landscape is rugged, wild and colourful with a coastline that’s richly indented with fjords and bays. No wonder that the main attractions for holidays in Iceland are the country’s natural beauty, clean air, geysers, waterfalls and hot springs. Five sixths of the island is uninhabited and more than half the population live in or around the capital Reykjavik. Touring the island’s active volcanoes, glaciers and valleys is the best way to enjoy holidays in Iceland. Iceland’s naturally hot springs make swimming an institution and most pools have saunas and whirlpools.
