Iceland Travel Guide

Just ridiculously pretty.

I was skeptical at first with the number of people that have been to Iceland in the past 5 years.  Having seen the country with my own eyes, I can say that it is just as every bit as stunning and beautiful as they say it is, and more.  From the dramatic basalt cliffs, steamy thermal pools, other worldly glaciers, mysterious Northern Lights (if you are lucky enough to catch them), thundering waterfalls, and natural wonders that dot the island, you’ll be clamouring to see every inch. The only sad part is that you won’t be able to.

This Iceland travel guide will help you plan your next vacation.
