Top 5 Must-See Places in Iceland
As the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, it's my responsibility to ensure our clients make the most of their trip. Here are my top five must-see places in Iceland that you shouldn't miss on your holiday.
1. Myvatn Lake
Covering 36.5 square kilometers, Myvatn is Iceland's fourth-largest lake, featuring numerous coves and over 40 small islets. Experience the area's stunning natural beauty through the lava formations at Dimmu Borgir, explore the vast crater of Mt. Hverfjall, and visit the 10-km caldera of Krafla. The geothermal area east of Namaskarð is also a must-see. You'll be amazed by the birdlife in this fascinating landscape.
2. Geysers
No trip to Iceland is complete without witnessing its famous geysers. While the Great Geyser was historically a major attraction, Strokkur now steals the show, erupting every 5 to 10 minutes with jets that reach up to 20 meters. The nearby landscape is dotted with steaming vents and springs, offering a unique insight into Iceland's geothermal activity. You'll also notice the distinct plant life that thrives in this unusual environment.
3. The Blue Lagoon
With its ghostly aquamarine hue from white silica mud and blue-green algae, the Blue Lagoon is a breathtaking natural feature. Known for its purported healing properties, the man-made lagoon maintains a water temperature of 40°C. Taking a dip here, especially surrounded by snow, is an unforgettable experience.
4. Snaefellsjokull Glacier
Visible from over 60 miles away on a clear day in Reykjavik, Snaefellsjokull Glacier is believed to hold mystical powers, as referenced in Jules Verne's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth." The area boasts stunning moorlands, vibrant meadows, serene rivers, and striking rock formations, as well as captivating black sand beaches, making it feel like another planet.
5. Thingvellir National Park
Renowned for its breathtaking beauty, Thingvellir is a site of historical significance as well; it was the founding location of Iceland's parliament in 930. With Iceland's landscape offering so many remarkable sights, Thingvellir stands out as a place of tremendous cultural and natural importance.
Exploring these incredible places will make your Icelandic adventure truly unforgettable.
