Iceland

Welcome to Iceland

Capital of Iceland: Reykjavik
Population of Iceland: 0.4 million - 43rd in Europe
Size of Iceland: 102,775 km2 - 16th in Europe
Languages in Iceland: Icelandic. English almost universally spoken.

Experience the drama of this mountainous island in the North Atlantic, from glacial rivers to rushing waterfalls and geothermal hot spots. Iceland's cities, like its capital Reykjavik, are home to passionate natives who honor their Icelandic culture and history. Venture from the cities to experience the country's most powerful attraction: its breathtaking landscapes. Take a trip to one of the island's renowned national parks, see the effects of volcanic activity, and go for a dip in one of its many lakes. A haven for outdoor recreation, you can glacier hike, whitewater raft, and swim in natural pools.

Highlights

Kirkjufell mountain and Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall as seen under a sky lit by the Northern Lights, captures Iceland’s surreal natural beauty—volcanic landscapes, waterfalls, and aurora-lit skies.
