Iceland is a place that is very different than you would have imagined it to be. Glaciers, geysers, solfataras, waterfalls, volcanoes, raging rivers, whales and other surprises await you on your tour to Iceland. If you are planning for a trip to Iceland, then you have to visit the following places without fail.
The Blue Lagoon
The geothermal pool of Iceland is one of the popular destinations for the tourists. Although it is crowded, it is worth to visit this place. Mineral rich seawater is fed to the Blue Lagoon from the nearby geothermal plant. This place looks like a twilight zone with people covered in white mud and the steam rolling.
Northern Lights
The Northern Lights are one of the natural wonders of the world and it is seen from September to April in Iceland. It is a must to see this wonder if you are in this region during this period.
Gullfoss
This is one of the popular waterfalls in Iceland that flows from 105 ft into a canyon. It is very beautiful to see this wonder on sunny days when you can see the rainbow shimmering on the wall of spray kicking up.
Jokulsarlon
This lagoon created with the retreat of the Breioamerkurijokull glacier. This natural phenomenon happened between 1920 and 1965. A beautiful lagoon was created after the retreat of this glacier. This lagoon has a lot of icebergs floating in it and it is a spectacular scene to watch ice crash into this lagoon.
Trekking the Glaciers
The glaciers of Iceland get sturdy during the winter months. All you have to do is to just walk through the glacier and bring out the explorer in you. It is common to tourists walk through the glaciers in Iceland.

Wonderful places and pictures
All of them Jokulsarlon is a haven of the earth and one of the most beautiful place. Jokulsarlon is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier vatnajokull between skaftafell national park and hofn. At its shore, in the summertime, one has to watch out for the skuas, big seagulls which have their nests on the ground around the lake and which can occasionally become aggressive. he lagoon’s surface has been lowered almost to sea level and sea water enters with the tides, increasing the water temperature. Salmon, capelin and herring enter the lagoon and the harbour seals follow the food. Eider ducks are very common on the lagoon. It is an unforgettable adventure to take a boat trip between the icebergs to admire the natural ice sculptures and the blue green colour of the ice. Just east of the lagoon is a small restaurant with toilets.
Absolutely fantastic, Iceland is now on my list of places to go….. very soon.
Beautiful photos! Would love to visit Iceland one day!
