Dramatic volcanic landscapes ranging from moss covered lava fields to towering mountain peaks and spectacular rugged coastlines, an Iceland holiday is like entering a different world. The capital Reykjavik offers the perfect introduction to the country, a small vibrant city within easy reach of some of the most spectacular geothermal wonders.
