ICELAND | Monday, 1 July 2013 | Views [388]

Iceland, a place where polar bears roam the streets, everyone is an eskimo and the buildings are all wood cabis with fur rugs. Not quite, but it is bloody cold. The country of natural wonders, Earth, Air, Fire and Water all in one place. The citie and towns are like most, as you'd expect a ski resort to look, the rest is an array of volcanic rock leading to the snowey mountain peaks, from the glacier lagoons and open waters, and from the natural springs to the wildlife it holds, Iceland is far from boring. With such contrasing elements the list of tours and expeditions is endless.

The Golden Circle tour is one of the most popular, as it gives an overview of what the country has to offer and is a great starting point. With over 50 % of Puffin population, 3 types of whale and the only species of horse that sleeps laying down, wildlife is something that must be on your to do list. With endless stretches of water, boat trips, snorkelling and swimming are popular with tourists throughout the year and are well worth the money. If you're keen on the outdoors ad adventures there are countless nubers of hiking and climbing trails for all abilities as well as places to camp, giving you a great way of seeing the Northern Lights depending on the season.

Iceland is vast but quiet with every one erson being accountable by 3 sheep. It is not only a beautiful country to escape the city ife to, but also an amazing mistake, which came out of the sea and stays afloat as it sits on a hot spot on the ridge of America and Eurasia.
