Best places to visit in Iceland

This village is famous for its beach of black sand, its sea-battered rocks and its charming church.

Skaftafell is an essential place to go if you want to get up close to a glacier or go hiking in the national park, to which this area is one of the gateways.

A wonderful waterfall with the added bonus of an often-present rainbow!

A thundering wall of water, a clifftop view of the coast, and a rainbow that never seems to fade.

Icebergs drift in silence as seals play in water that's an almost unreal shade of blue.

Europe's most powerful waterfall, and most recently, the star of the film Prometheus!

Set your sights on a peaceful harbor where whales dance offshore.

The region around Lake Myvatn is one of Iceland's most beautiful volcanic sites.

The northern capital is charming and has the benefit of being a 'large' town in the heart of fjord country.

Departure or arrival of the great Landmmanalaugar hike - Thorsmork, which is only accessible by four-wheel drive, is a must see of the inland.

An unpronounceable name that everyone can remember because it was this volcano which forced all air traffic to stop in 2010.

Cliffs sculpted by the waves, geological secrets, and Icelandic legends carried on the sea breeze.

In the Eastfjords, quiet roads, fishing villages, and reindeer await.

Both a national park and a glacier, Vatnajokull possesses marvels by the dozen.

In my opinion, the "Blue Lagoon" of the north of the country, this hot water pool located in Myvatn is a true delight for a relaxing break during your trip after a long day of walking.

Waterfall with basaltic organ pipes in the heart of Skaftafell National Park.

One of the most active sites around Mývatn. Here the ground boils beneath our feet and you really notice it, what with the steaming vents, sulphur, and mud pools!

Hissing fumaroles, black lava flows, and turquoise lakes, this is Iceland at its rawest.

The capital of the country is not a city like the others, with 2/3 of the population concentrated in the centre and the surrounding area. It is the northernmost capital in the world and especially an essential part of any trip to Iceland.

Between volcanic fissures and unpredictable geysers, this is Iceland on a grand scale.
