It may not be on your list of possible destinations, but the truth is that it is a country worth knowing. We are referring to Iceland, which hides some spectacular places, being able to find monolithic glaciers, roaring volcanoes, deep forests, icy mountains, surprising waterfalls ... We must not forget that it is a country of contrasts and very little populated, with completely wild regions. In addition, you should know that from this corner of northern Europe you can see northern lights, a phenomenon worth knowing even if it is only once in a lifetime.
Today in Hard Hobbit To Break We want to convince you that Iceland is an ideal vacation destination. For this, we are going to show you some of the most beautiful places in the country. These are places that are proposed to us from the Condé Nast Traveler magazine. Would you like to join us? We assure you that you will not regret it!
Seljalandsfoss
First of all, we must talk about Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall 60 meters located in the southern part of Iceland. You should know that it is possible to climb the slope of the waterfall and contemplate from the point of view in which the water is thrown into the void.
Mount Mælifell
At the second place on the Condé Nast Traveler list we find Mount Mælifell, a cone volcanic which is completely surrounded by water. Surprisingly, it is a green dot as it is covered in grimmia, a moss that grows on petrified lava. Of course, the moss changes color depending on the humidity of the soil.
Vatnajökull
In third position in the ranking we find Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in the country and the second in Europe, so it is full of caves worth exploring.
Landmannalaugar
It could not be missing from the list Landmannalaugar, a hot spring located south of the Hekla volcano, in the Highlands. Due to the geothermal activity in the area, it offers a colorful landscape in which a great variety of tones can be found.
Víti, Askja
We also have to tell you about Vití, a crater located in the boiler Krafla volcanic. Surprise for hosting a green lake, where you can bathe if the weather permits.
Jökulsárlón
In sixth position in the ranking we find Jökulsárlón, the largest glacier in Iceland, as well as being the best known. You will love its bright and blue icebergs. Also, keep in mind that the most intrepid can jump on it from a boat to float between them.
Reynisfjara Beach, Vík
It could not be missing from the list Vík, a town in the south of Iceland that surprises by the columns of basalt with spectacular shapes that can be found on the shore of Reynisfjara, an impressive black sand beach.
Kirkjufell
In eighth place on the list we find Kirkjufell, a mountain of volcanic origin located near the city of Grundarfjörður. It is the Montana most photographed in the country, as it is one of the best places to see the northern lights.
Westfjords
We also have to tell you about Westfjords, a peninsula located in the northwestern part of the country where only 14% of visitors arrive. Thus, it is the ideal destination for all those who like loneliness. Without a doubt, it is home to some of the most spectacular landscapes in Iceland.
Hvítserkur
Finally, we have to talk about Hvítserkur, a geological formation created by magma volcanic a few thousand years ago. When the tide is out, it is possible to walk near the rock. In addition, you should know that very close is one of the largest seal colonies in Iceland.
