Iceland
Ice caps, glaciers, geysers, volcanoes, raging rivers and magnificent
waterfalls, flocks of birds and much more is what awaits the traveler
willing to go in Iceland.
This is a country so different that one almost seems to have
moved to another planet. Its population is only 300,000, the summer
months have sunlight all day and in winter the country and its
tourist areas are paralyzed, with only four hours of sunshine.
In Reykjavik, the capital, live to 60% of the population. Points
of interest are within walking distance from the center of the
city: old town, the picturesque area of lakes, markets, parks
and museums.
Mývatn has a beautiful blue lake in which hundreds of
birds are concentrated, with the Jökulsárgljúfur
National Park, the Aska caldera, the crater Hverfell and the Kverkfjöll
ice caves.
Other major tourist sites are Gullfoss and Geysir. The first
is a beautiful waterfall on two floors and the second, as its
name suggests, a geyser that also gives its name to the phenomenon
of emerging hot tap water every few minutes from the bowels of
the earth.
Finally, the water in Iceland is one of the purest in the world.
