Iceland is a land of striking contrasts—where fire and ice meet in a landscape shaped by glaciers, volcanoes, and geothermal activity. This remote North Atlantic Island offers dramatic scenery, unique wildlife, and rich Nordic culture.
Summer months bring near 24-hour daylight, making it ideal for exploring waterfalls, lava fields, and black sand beaches. In winter, the Northern Lights illuminate the skies. Iceland is home to Arctic foxes, reindeer, whales, and puffins, and offers diverse activities from glacier hiking and snorkeling to geothermal bathing and whale watching
Iceland Overview
Geography & Climate
Iceland is a volcanic island located in the North Atlantic, just below the Arctic Circle. Its landscape is marked by glaciers, volcanoes, black sand beaches, and steaming geothermal fields. The weather is highly variable, with coastal summer temperatures ranging from 10°C to 15°C. The warmest months—June to August—bring long daylight hours and a chance to explore under the midnight sun
Wildlife
Iceland’s coastal waters attract Humpback, Minke, and Blue Whales, especially in summer. Puffins nest along the cliffs in massive colonies, joined by Arctic Terns, Guillemots, and other seabirds. Inland, Arctic Foxes roam the wilderness. While seals are common along the coast, reindeer may be spotted in the east
Activities
Iceland offers a wide range of outdoor experiences. Travellers can hike to waterfalls, soak in geothermal lagoons, explore lava caves, or take boat rides among icebergs. Popular activities include whale watching, glacier walks, and visiting volcanic landscapes in the north and south
