ICELANDVelkomin (welcome) to Iceland, an exotic land, located mid-Atlantic, and only a five hour flight from New York on Icelandair. The USA’s closest European neighbor, Iceland is both cosmopolitan and a “must do” for adventure trekkers. It’s a hot destination that makes a trendy stopover too.
The chilliest thing about Iceland is its name! In January, the average temperature in the capital Reykjavik is higher than that in New York. And Iceland’s welcome for tourists is always warm. Slip into the silky waters of the geo-thermally heated “Blue Lagoon” and chat with locals waist deep in blue water. You might learn that Icelanders speak English fluently, are easy going and not given to formalities.

Around Iceland
You’ll feel safe in Reykjavik. Its colorful houses, friendly people and walkable city center make it seem like a big village – with modern conveniences and a multitude of cultural venues, gourmet restaurants, fun bars and novel shops.
Amazingly, a 15-minute cab ride separates the city from wild nature. You may feel like you are the only person on earth as you explore geysers, waterfalls, geothermal hot springs, bird sanctuaries and more. Iceland is a place you could go on discovering – forever.
