About Me

  Whether you want to chase the northern lights, explore massive ice caves, or luxuriate in a geothermal spa, you’ll find that Iceland is a travel dream-come-true. That is why I love sharing the sites and activities of Iceland as a travel agent advisor for the unique travel destination in the North.From massive waterfalls and black sand beaches to whale watching and puffin spotting, get ready for an unforgettable arctic adventure in one of the world's most scenic countries. Iceland's raw, rugged beauty will leave you in awe and eager to return again.Moreover, Iceland is home to both subglacial and subaerial volcanoes, some of which have caused significant eruptions in the past.  For example, Eyjafjallajökull's 2010 eruption gained international attention for disrupting air travel in Europe.

 Indeed, Iceland is a nature lover’s paradise. You could spend countless weeks exploring the country’s dramatic landscapes and its amazing geological wonders. Here are a few must-sees you’ll ant to include on your travel itinerary:Gullfoss WaterfallThis stunning two-tiered waterfall in south Iceland is one of the country’s most popular attractions. Walk down the path to the lower observation deck to feel the power of the falls as 32,000 gallons of water thunder into the gorge every second.Blue LagoonNothing is more relaxing than soaking in the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa set in a lava field. The milky blue waters are naturally heated to a perfect 100°F. Apply a silica mud mask, grab a drink from the bar, and take in the scenic volcanic surroundings.Jökulsárlón Glacier LagoonWatch massive icebergs calve off from a glacier and float peacefully in a lagoon before drifting out to sea. The lagoon’s black sand beach is filled with smaller “diamond ice” bergs glistening in the sun. Spot seals playing in the frigid waters or resting on the bergs.Landmannalaugar For stunning solitude, head to Landmannalaugar in the Highlands of Iceland. Multi-hued mountains, canyons, and geothermal pools provide a dramatic backdrop for hiking. The Laugavegurinn trail takes you through rhyolite mountains, lush valleys, and volcanic deserts. After a day of trekking, unwind in a natural hot spring.With its massive waterfalls, bubbling hot springs, mammoth glaciers and psychedelic landscapes, Iceland’s natural attractions will leave you in awe of the power and wonder of nature. So, let me start planning your outdoor adventure today!

Iceland’s colorful capital city is filled with vibrant houses, quirky shops, and hip cafés. Walk around the Old Harbor, check out Hallgrímskirkja church, and stroll Laugavegur main street. For culture, visit the National Museum of Iceland, which traces Iceland’s history from settlement to the modern era.Golden Circle RouteThis popular driving route takes you to some of Iceland’s most stunning natural wonders. See the massive Gullfoss waterfall, spouting geysers at Geysir geothermal area, and Thingvellir National Park, where Iceland's parliament was founded.

Needless to say, Iceland is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, with thrilling activities around every corner. If adventure is what you seek, here are some heart-pounding activities - activities where you can truly experience the raw power of nature while honing your physical skills and abilities..Ice Climbing and Glacier WalkingScale massive ice walls and hike the crunchy blue glaciers.
