Iceland

This mid-Atlantic island is the halfway point between the United States and the European continent. The chilliest thing about Iceland is its name. Even in January the temperature is warmer than New York. Witness extraordinary views of surging geysers, thundering waterfalls and moonlike volcanic craters. Experience the magnificence of Europe’s largest glacier. Cozy, charming, and with a village feel, visitors are safe to walk the streets of the city of Reykjavik. With modern conveniences, a high quality of life and world-class services, Iceland’s capital is still only a 15-minute cab ride from harsh and wild natural scenery. A European outpost with an exciting, lively, and vibrant ancient culture, Iceland is constantly being rediscovered.
