Welcome to Iceland There is a land far away from everything you know, where rules are not the ones you're used to. Volcanoes are born on frozen ground. Boiling water emerges from the profundities of iced soil. In the darkest nights, the sky lights up with mysterious suns. Its outstanding beauty will take your breath away. Ice and fire kiss, creating exuberant natural formations.
Here, nature is the ruler, and people are its peasants. Icelandic culture has been shaped by isolation and the extreme forces of nature. These conditions have created a resilient people, where family ties are close, the sense of tradition is strong, and the bond with nature is tight. Their cultural legacy won't left you indifferent.
Only the most adventurous would be crazy enough to visit this unexplored land. Do you dare?
