Iceland
Iceland is a country of sharp contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. A country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.

Things to do in Iceland
The Aurora Borealis takes its name from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the
Greek name for the north wind, Boreas. From september to april, Iceland is a hotspot for this
magnificent lightshow.
The Aurora Borealis, more commonly referred to as the Northern Lights is a natural
phenomenon created when particles emitted by the sun interact with the atmosphere in the
Earth's magnetic field. This releases energy, causing peculiar luminous green streaks across
the skies.
When making a trip to Iceland, it is hard not to pay attention to the country's
namesake---namely it's 4500 square miles of glacier. Ice climbing on the glaciers is
practiced year-round and takes place mainly on the Sólheimajökull and Svínafellsjökull
glaciers in the south of Iceland, to which day trips are offered from Reykjavik (and
Skaftafell).
