It may not be on your list of possible destinations, but the truth is that it is a country worth knowing.

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.
