When asked what comes to mind upon hearing the word Iceland, you’ll probably get “ice” or “snow” for an answer. I was once guilty of that, too, but as I aged, I came to realize that Iceland is nothing but a place for a laid back person like me. After browsing the internet for some pictures, I was left with awe. Iceland is a region that belongs to the Nordic countries in Northern Europe. The infrastructures would make one have a second and more appreciative look, and nature would go one silent, if not overwhelmed, by its sharp contrasts. Far from the notion of any regular person like me who thought that Iceland is only all about snow and cold weather, glaciers and winter and mittens, surprisingly Iceland is a country of active volcanoes and hot springs, too! What could be more thrilling than living in a country surrounded by active volcanoes?! In actuality, some parts of the country had been destroyed by volcanic eruptions and seismic activities. But this fact does not make Iceland any less of a beautiful place to visit. Iceland offers a lot of majestic sceneries not only for those who love nature so much but also to those who seek for an adventure as well. Anytime you'd like to visit Iceland and if you're traveling from the U.S., save on airport parking.
Here are the places that will make you include Iceland on your bucket list:
