Marvel at the land of the northern lights

See the awe-inspiring southern coast, navigate through fields of geothermal activity with their bubbling mud pools, dip in the naturally hot springs in the magical valley of Solfataras and Reykjadlur, and reward yourself with the stunning views from the highest point in the Hengill Heritage site.
You’ll hike along the fault line that divides America and Europe in the National Park of Thingvellir – the only place in the world you can stand between two continental plates with its breathtaking geological landscape.
